Languages for All
Within Britain, the most common form of Sign Language is called British Sign Language (BSL). BSL has its own grammatical structure and syntax. As a language, it is not dependent nor is it strongly related to spoken English. BSL is the preferred language of around 145,000 people within the UK (2011).
