[Video ID: in a Home Depot, a woman is looking at a sign that says “We speak your language” under that are speech bubbles with the languages their representatives speak. The camera cuts back to her signing “Where is American Sign Language. The camera pans across the speech bubbles, then back to her. “Always! Why leave ASL out? ASL is a Language too. ASL should be there and also, ASL is the third most used language in United States and ASL is not there.” End ID]

American Sign Language (ASL) is a language too. Just because it’s not spoken doesn’t mean it’s not a true language. ASL is just as much a language as any other.
It’s time for all places (especially airlines, I’m looking at all of you) to include ASL in the list of languages. Please update your language options and include American Sign Language. Thank you.
