What is "fingerspelling"?

Fingerspelling is a communication method used in sign language that involves using hand signs to represent the letters of the alphabet. This technique is often employed to spell out names, places, or specific words that do not have a unique sign in a particular sign language. Fingerspelling is crucial for effective communication among individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, as it allows for the precise representation of words from spoken languages. Each letter is represented by a distinct handshape, making it an important skill for sign language users. Mastery of fingerspelling enhances vocabulary and facilitates clearer communication in various social contexts.
