Trinidadian or Trinidad and Tobago Sign Language (TSL) is the indigenous deaf sign language of Trinidad and Tobago. It is not used in the single deaf school, which has been the domain of American Sign Language since 1970; a mixture of TSL and ASL is used in Deaf associations, with TSL being used more heavily in informal situations. The younger generation does not know the language well, as they only learn ASL in school, but teachers are starting to switch over to TSL.
