For example, BSL history is ASL nice, BSL boy is ASL false, etc. Also, I know that in Kenyan Sign Language, the sign for school is the ASL equivalent of table. This is why gestures become so important! And the differences between ASL and SEE are pretty drastic, if that's what you want to focus on. Endings of words, initialized signs, tense, plurals...you definitely would have a LOT to work with.
