To produce ordinal numbers in sign language, the required handshapes generally include:
- Numbers 1–9 - These handshapes are typically used for the first through ninth ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).
- Letters S and T - In some sign languages, the handshapes for letters S and T can also be used to indicate the sequence or position related to ordinal numbers.
- Letters N and D - These handshapes may be used in specific sign languages to express ordinal positions or other related concepts.
Generally, the most relevant is the use of numbers 1–9 for expressing ordinal numbers specifically.
