When I last visited Hong Kong, I picked up the standard text for HKSL and interacted a lot with the HK Deaf community. I certainly didn't see any ASL there, although I won't say that individual ASL signs might have made their way into HK recently. I would state, however, that HKSL is in no way a dialect of ASL. - Wayne | ||||||||||||||||
