Résumé: An approach for researching fingers' movement with an aim to create a formal notion of sign language fingerspelling units (dactyls) is considered. Then an informational parametric model of a human arm is suggested that describes possible movements during fingerspelling process. 10 fingerspelling alphabets are analyzed mutually compared for exact and partial similarity as well as notable distinctions. The example of a .Net-based software application is then provided that teaches proper Ukrainian fingerspelling.

Keywords: fingerspelling alphabet, specification, model of human movements.
