Maritime Sign Language (MSL), is a village sign language[3] derived from British Sign Language and formerly used in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, Canada.[4] It is still remembered by some elderly people (approximately 100 in 2009)[1] but is effectively extinct.[5]
The dialect of American Sign Language currently used in the Maritimes exhibits some lexical influence from MSL.
