Sign Language.
Sign Language is a visual means of communicating using gestures, facial expression, and body language. Sign Language is used mainly by people who are Deaf or have hearing impairments.
Most Deaf people who use sign language in the UK use British Sign Language (BSL); like English, it has its own grammar, syntax and lexicons.
BSL has been around for centuries and was created by deaf people forming communities throughout the UK. The first official record of BSL was at a wedding ceremony at St. Martin's Church in Leicester, 1576.
