"There are more than 7,000 languages spoken throughout the world today, and each one is unique in its own way. Did you know that there is a language spoken off the coast of Spain that consists entirely of whistles? Or that in Hawaii, there are over 200 different words for “rain?"

Did you know American Sign Language is commonly said to be the fourth most-used language in the United States? While it is difficult to know exactly how many ASL speakers there are in the U.S., the estimation ranges from 500,000 to 2,000,000 speakers.
