Spin squeezing with collective angular momentum operators is studied for an ensemble of atoms with a local spin larger than 1/2. In these systems, unlike the case of spin-1/2 ensembles, it is possible to carry out internal spin squeezing: only the local spin of each atom is squeezed, while there is no correlation between the atoms. We discuss the possibility of introducing entanglement conditions that can identify whether the ensemble of atoms is in such an internal squeezed state or there is genuine inter-particle spin squeezing, which we term external squeezing. Also the detection of internal and external squeezing with possible collective measurements in actual experiments is addressed.
