Sign in other languages doesn't use the middle finger so often.
EDIT - no it is not, each region has developed it's own sign.

American Sign Language is not English. ASL has its own grammar rules, syntax and sentence structure.
Sign language is not universal, ASL bears absolutely no resemblance to British Sign Language; although it closely resembles French Sign Language, since the first sign teacher in the US was from France.

There are different versions from around the world. What we use in the United States is called American Sign Language.

American Sign Language is NOT universal. Language is based upon culture, therefore having a universal sign language would be impossible.
The same as there being a worldwide universal spoken language. Can't really be done, now can it...

No there is different kinds of sign langauge just like there are different kinds of speaking languages. There are things like bsl(british) and asl(american) and csl(chinese).
