Language

Deaf people use sign language - more accurately, British Sign Language or just BSL, which has a different structure to English - it is not English on the hands. Finger-spelling is used to represent specific English words when needed. In fact in BSL, the face, the body and the hands are all equally important; Deaf people watch the face when signing, not the hands. BSL is different to other sign languages (eg American Sign Language and French Sign Language) and has been known to exist for over 400 years in the UK.
