Default ADSL vs. DSL

What is the difference between ADSL and DSL? In the US all I ever heard about was DSL, but here in Tunisia its not available, but ADSL is. Anyone know?

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL for short) is a high-speed Internet access service that utilizes existing copper telephones lines to send and receive data at speeds that far exceed conventional dial-up modems.
