How to sign “Middle” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Middle” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Bend the middle finger of your dominant hand at the large knuckle so its tip points downward.
- Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with its palm facing up.
- Circle the bent middle-finger tip above the upturned palm, then plant the fingertip into its center.
- Hold the planted fingertip still for a moment to mark the exact middle point.
Practice tip
Use the bent finger for "middle" — a flat circling hand instead means "center".
