Manually Coded English (MCE) is an umbrella term referring to a number of invented manual codes intended to visually represent the exact grammar and morphology of spoken English. Different codes of MCE vary in the levels of adherence to spoken English grammar, morphology, and syntax. [1]
Manually coded languages (MCLs) are a family of gestural communication methods which include gestural spelling as well as constructed languages which directly interpolate the grammar and syntax of oral languages in a gestural-visual form—that is, signed versions of oral languages.

Manually coded English Manually coded English is any one of a number of different representations of the English language that uses manual signs to encode English words visually. Although MCE uses signs, it is not a language like ASL; it is an encoding of English that uses hand gestures to make English visible in a visual mode.
While spoken English is a natural language, it is less obvious that a signed form of English is also a natural language. At issue is the development of Manually Coded English (MCE), which can be described as a form of language planning aimed at making English visible for deaf children (Ramsey 1989).

This web page describes various language and communication tools/systems for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children, including signed languages, spoken languages, and signing systems. It also explains the benefits and challenges of different approaches and the role of families, professionals, and technology in supporting language development.
This chapter reviews research on the development of ASL and MCE systems in deaf and hearing children. It covers phonological, lexical, morphological, and syntactic aspects of sign and spoken language acquisition.
