Is this an ASL thing or some other system?

What would be a good source to get the full list of the eight morphological types, and how they are used?

I learned this in a Linguistics of ASL course as a part of my degree in ASL. My understanding is that classifiers exist in every natural signed language and isn’t exclusive to ASL.

The linked PowerPoint does a good job of explaining a brief overview of the different types of classifiers. (I actually referenced it to correct my own answer because I knew something felt off. lol)
