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

In American Sign Language (ASL), the letter "Q" is shown with a special handshape. To sign "Q," make a fist with your main hand. Then, point your thumb and index finger down. This creates a shape like the letter "Q." This handshape is part of the ASL manual alphabet. It's used for spelling out words and names without a specific sign. Fingerspelling is a key skill in ASL. It's especially useful for proper nouns or technical terms. The manual alphabet, including "Q," is important in Deaf culture. It helps with communication and literacy in the Deaf community. Practicing handshapes and movements is crucial. This ensures clarity and accuracy when fingerspelling.
