"English is not my first language," writes Nakia Smith on her TikTok account, although the 22-year-old grew up in Texas. The young African-American woman has been deaf since birth, and uses her large following on the social media app to promote her little-known dialect: Black American Sign Language. In her video clips, she tells her 400,000 followers about the differences between her language and the standard American Sign Language (ASL).

I am so happy to find you on here. You are so fun to watch and I have learned so much from you. I love your family. I am hearing but have a deaf boyfriend. We have been together for 1 year so I still have so much to learn. I will keep watching and learning from you!
