BSL Brownie Promise

       iOS iPhone

BSL is the language used by the Deaf Community in the UK. It has its own grammar and syntax, completely different from the grammatical rules of English. It uses both manual and non-manual components: handshapes and movements, facial expression, and shoulder movement.

It is estimated that 8.7 million people in the UK are Deaf or hard of hearing.
Sign languages develop naturally, just like spoken languages. They are as diverse as spoken languages. Thus, Deaf people in different countries do not use the same sign language, but some sign languages are related to one another, just as some spoken languages are related. For example, early educationalists and missioners from Britain influenced Australian Sign Language (Auslan) and Auslan is therefore closely related to BSL, although not identical to it. Some Deaf people also use International Sign Language to communicate with Deaf people from different countries. Deaf people in Northern Ireland use Irish Sign Language as well as BSL. BSL also has dialects, which means that signs will have different meanings depending on where the Deaf person comes from. For example, signs that someone in Newcastle uses to say something may have a different meaning in Brighton. BSL users also use fingerspelling. Certain words – usually names of people and places – are spelled out on fingers. However, it is important to remember that fingerspelling is not sign language.

Cath Smith is a leading Sign Language author. The LET'S SIGN series by Cath Smith is used in schools, homes and professional environments across the UK and beyond.

The signed Brownie Promise aims to raise awareness and provide the UK Brownie's with a fun introduction to Sign Language.
