NID: SASL Video Dictionary

A bilingual English / South African Sign Language (SASL) video dictionary. Browse for the English word and see the corresponding sign in SASL. Search for words by handshape and body location. Signs were collected from Deaf communities across South Africa. The rich variations can be viewed in the dictionary.
