Thank you and thanks to Soarer, as well. Very informative responses.

At least now I don't feel as bad about not being able to follow along.

A follow-up, if you don't mind: is TSL similar at all to Khmer Sign Language or Malay Sign Language or other countries in the region? Are there provicial variations, such as Southern Thai, Chiang Mai or Isaan (as is with the verbal language)? I lived in Arizona when I studied ASL and quickly learned that Mexican Sign Language was not the same.

As I am with those who can speak Thai, I am wicked with envy that you can sign enough TSL to get around!
