Deaf Awareness

In the UK Deaf Awareness week starts the 15th of May, so I've decided to give a bit of history about sign language, some basic signs in BSL and some other information about deafness and being deaf over this coming week. I hope you enjoy.

The alphabet for right handed people, for left is slightly different.

British Sign Language or BSL uses two hands to communicate with, but others like American Sign Language usually only use one. There are around 300 different types of sign languages in the world and many of they have derived from others and may look similar to other counties signs. Many signs came from French Sign Language, which later gave form to American Sign Language.

Here are some useful signs, try practising with your friends and family.
