There's not that much detailed discussion of NSL on the web:
http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~nrwan/201hws.html
The first generation of students at the school did not have a full
language, but rather a pidgin consisting of home signs. The second
generation of students, however, turned the pidgin into a creole. The
original home signs and gestures used by the first generation had contained
a great deal of pointing, actions, and repetition. NSL, on the other hand,
is much more refined and complex. It contains ways to sign verbs in
configuration, serial verbs with complex morphology, and first, second, and
third person pronouns.
