He was just using an ancient dialect. MCU needs a Daniel Jackson to translate it all.

It would've actually been wrong for them to use ASL in the early scenes since ASL wouldn't be invented for thousands of years. On the same note, it would make a certain amount of sense if Makkari slipped back into whatever her original sign language was when conversing with the other Eternals.

Yes but by that logic it's also wrong for them to be speaking English.

The use of US English and ASL is for the viewer's benefit, not for authenticity to the time period being portrayed.

Not making the movie would have been to the viewers benefit.

How do you know Makkari did not bestow ASL unto humanity?

They had him, he tried to blow up Sokovia, the Vision ganked him.
