How to Sign "Speak" in American Sign Language (ASL)

In ASL, "speak" is signed by extending your index and middle fingers together, placing them near your mouth, and moving them forward and slightly up like a peace sign. The motion shows words coming out. This sign can be changed to show different ways of speaking - fast, slow, or angry - by changing how fast you move and what face you make. The sign works everywhere. When talking about speaking with your voice versus using sign language, this helps show which one you mean. It's fine to use anytime.
