The Speak in ASL, is a hilarious candid video, depicting a compromise between two worlds in preserving a cultural diversity.
This piece of work Speak in ASL contemplates colonialism and hegemony of a language and culture in general. Mark Tully once noted in his No Full Stops in India, "It has often been said that if you want to destroy a people, first destroy its language."
