While I’m sure there are factual answers to be had for this question, I’d like to approach this query as a poll, if I may. Please forgive me if this really belongs in GQ.
I’d like to know if there are defined regional dialects expressed in ASL (or any other SL, for that matter), like how there are in spoken speech between areas such as New York, Texas, the Midwest, and certain regions in Canada. Also, is there an analogue in SL to what is heard as a lisp, a falsetto voice, or a particularly mocking, sarcastic voice? Thanks in advance.
