As Protactile language continues to diverge from American Sign Language, a new Protactile alphabet and number system is being developed. This system replaces the manual ASL alphabet which is often unclear and leads to miscommunication. In Protactile, letters and numbers follow the 6 dot system of Braille and are articulated in contact space. This is still an emerging practice, so not all letters and numbers have been standardized. Like all languages, there is language variation that exists between speakers of the language, and this is also true for Protactile. In this module, you will be exposed to the basic PT alphabet and number system that is currently being used by the Protactile community. |
