What is British Sign Language?
British Sign Language (BSL) was recognised as an official language in March 2003 by the UK Government. In April 2022, the BSL Act gained Royal Assent to be officially recognised as a language. Currently, it is estimated that around 151,000 Deaf people use it along with others who use it for family or work purposes. Currently, a GCSE BSL is being devised. It is hoped to be rolled out in schools within the next few years.
Aspects of the language
BSL is a complete language which incorporates facial expression; body language and use of movements within the space of the hands; body; face and head. It has its own grammar and sentence structure.
