History of ASL
Despite theories and speculation that all of human language has its roots in signed gestures and hand signals that served as an early form of communication, it is impossible to say for sure whether or not language developed in this manner. In 5th Century BC - According to American Sign Language Dictionary on CD-ROM, the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates thought it perfectly logical for deaf people to communicate using their hands, heads and other body parts, being naturally deprived of the use of their hearing.
Etymologies and Origins
In many cases, signs for related words or concepts are very similar, having developed out of one root sign. The resulting signs are more specific, and often belong to a particular subcategory of language.

American Sign Language Overview
"Contrary to common belief, ASL [American Sign Language] is not derived from any spoken language, nor is it a visual code representing English. It is a unique and distinct language, one that does not depend on speech or sound. ASL has its own grammar, sentence construction, idiomatic usage, slang, style and regional variations - the characteristics that define any language." The American Sign Language Handshape Dictionary, p.9.
