What is d in sign language?

In American Sign Language (ASL), the sign for the letter "d" is made by forming a closed fist with your dominant hand and extending your thumb straight up. The thumb represents the letter "d" in the manual alphabet used in ASL.

When signing the letter "d," it is important to keep your thumb straight and not bent or curved. This distinguishes the sign for "d" from other similar letters in the manual alphabet.

The sign for "d" is commonly used in fingerspelling to spell out words or names that do not have a unique sign in ASL. It is essential for deaf and hard of hearing individuals to be able to fingerspell to effectively communicate and understand words that do not have a specific sign.
