This skill is useful in communicating with those deaf, and as a kinesthetic aid for teaching to children just learning to write the alphabet, as each sign is unique (no opposites like b and d).

The one hand alphabet in photos:

A, B, C, D

E, F, G, H

I, J, (for J use I to motion a hook shape) K, L

M, N, O, P

Q, R, S, T

U, V, W, X

Y, Z (for Z motion a zig-zag shape)
