Signed Exact English (SEE): is a system of signs that code English into a visual form. SEE includes prefixes and suffixes to assist Deaf children in seeing all aspects of the English language. It is not the native language used by the majority of Deaf adults.

Signed English: is a manually coded form of English similar to SEE, however it often borrows vocabulary and uses three-dimensional space which makes Signed Englihs more ASL-like.

American Sign Language (ASL): is the accepted native language among Deaf adults. It is recognized by linguists to be a true language having its own structure, syntax and other features found in other languages. It is NOT English.

Pidgin Signed English (PSE): is a form of sign that has evolved as a dialect of sign language that is not English nor is it ASL. Many Deaf adults use this as a form of communication, often when signing to hearing people. It may vary on a continuum from manually coded English on one end to ASL on the other.
