<b>Description:</b>

Maritime Sign Language (MSL), also known as Nova Scotian Sign Language, is a sign language, derived from British Sign Language, formerly used in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is still remembered by some elderly people, but is effectively extinct.
The dialect of American Sign Language currently spoken in the Maritimes exhibits some lexical influence from MSL.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=10940582 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
