How to sign “Regional” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Regional” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Close your non-dominant hand into an S fist and hold it at chest height.
- Lay your dominant hand flat on top of that fist, fingers together.
- Move the flat hand in a smooth circle on top of the fist.
- Keep the flat hand's palm facing down while it circles.
- Keep a neutral face; the circle outlines the region's boundary.
Practice tip
Same sign as REGION — the circle traces the edge of an area.
