Is asl a world wide known sl?

I think i should phrase my title a bit differently, but idk how so i‘ll just explain. Would you say American Sign Language is or should be the sign language you should DEFINITELY know, if you want to get through the world? I mean just like the language English. Here in germany we are taught english, just like in every other European country and probably everywhere else around the world, too. Bc its the world‘s language (HEY I’M SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH I DONT KNOW HOW TO PHRASE IT😭) I am learning dgs (german sign language) and I‘m thinking about learning ASL, because of my question. i am so sorry for this horrible english omg
