British Sign Language (BSL) is the sign language used in the United Kingdom (UK), and is the first or preferred language of
some deaf people in the UK; there are 125,000 deaf adults in the UK who use BSL plus an estimated 20,000 children. In 2011
15,000 people reported themselves using BSL as their main language. The language makes use of space and involves movement
of the hands, body, face and head. Many thousands of people who are not deaf also use BSL, as hearing relatives of deaf people,
sign language interpreters or as a result of other contact with the British deaf community. |
