NZSL Fingerspelling Font:
The New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) Fingerspelling Alphabet can serve as a great starting point to learn NZSL. It is useful to know the finger-spelling alphabet as this is used to spell names of people (especially in introductions), names of places and concepts and/or words that one may not have signs for or one has forgotten.
