THE BEST ANSWER WILL GET BRAINLIEST In the 1800s, Martha's Vineyard was home to a native Deaf population that spoke its own language called the Martha's Vineyard Sign Language. Explain what impact Martha's Vineyard had on Deaf culture and the formation of ASL.

How it had impact on Deaf culture

Martha's Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL) was a village sign language that was once widely used on the island of Martha's Vineyard from the early 18th century to 1952. It was used by both Deaf and hearing people in the community; consequently, deafness did not become a barrier to participation in public life.

Affect on the formation of ASL (American Sign Language)

In 1817, the country's first deaf school opened in Hartford, Conn., now known as the American School for the Deaf. Many Martha's Vineyard residents enrolled there, bringing their knowledge of MVSL, which eventually helped shape American Sign Language (ASL) — now one of the largest community languages in the country.
