British Sign Language (BSL)

British Sign Language (BSL) is a natural language used by the Deaf community in the UK. It is a visual-manual language that employs hand signs, facial expressions, and body movements to communicate meaning. BSL has its own grammar and vocabulary, distinct from spoken English. It is a fully developed language that enables complex, nuanced conversations and cultural expression. BSL is typically used in everyday interactions among Deaf people and increasingly in educational and public settings to promote inclusion and accessibility.
