Information about different types of Sign Language

Evidence of me procrastinating, but here is some information about American Sign Language (ASL) vs. Signed Exact English (SEE). I chanced upon SEE because apparently in Singapore it is the prevalent one. It seems that ASL will bring us closer to Deaf Culture and is a real language in itself (SEE is more like encoded English).

The links:
Wiki link for SEE - Advantages and disadvantages of SEE
Language choices: Considering SEE and ASL - Apparently SEE is shunned by the Deaf community
ASL, SEE Sign, & Signed English - There's another one called Pidgin Signed English
