<br/><br/> American Sign Language (ASL) is a sign language used in America with slight<br/>modifications across different regions. Over the years it has developed and included a<br/>lot of new signs in it. In order for the deaf community to take notes and communicate<br/>with common people, ASL glossing is done which is an organized sentence structure of<br/>ASL. The goal of this research is to make a rule-based engine that can convert English<br/>sentences into ASL Gloss. The research included three phases. Firstly, we collected the<br/>English to ASL sentences from different resources including books, websites, etc.<br/>Secondly, we made rule-based engine to standardize the format of glossing. Since there<br/>are no proper set of rules written till now for ASL, we extracted common rules from<br/>sentences collected from different sources and continued our research on the basis of<br/>that. Thirdly, the engine was checked using different English sentences. We were able<br/>to achieve a BLEU score of 20.85 on the test set.
