American Sign Language has it's own grammatical structure and is mainly used in America, however it is one of the largest known sign languages in all of the world.

"Sign language" is a category of more than 100 different sign languages.

This places it near the bottom of the world's languages as far as the number of speakers (less than 1%).We can say that American Sign Language is the most widely spoken sign language in the world, followed by British Sign Language (which is completely unrelated to ASL).
