The sign language alphabet forms the basis of communication in sign language. By understanding and using the alphabet signs, you can spell out words, names, and specific terms that may not have their own unique sign. The letter “V” plays a crucial role in the alphabet and is important for spelling words.
Hold your dominant hand in a fist, palm facing outward, with index and middle fingers standing upright and spread apart, just like the letter “V.”
Visual alert systems, such as flashing lights or vibrating devices, are commonly used to notify Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals of important sounds, such as doorbells, phone calls, or fire alarms. These systems provide essential safety and communication support in various settings.
