The number of Deaf people in the UK using BSL has been put at about 50,000; there are in addition many more hearing people who use BSL to communicate with Deaf users. Sign languages are not related to spoken languages and BSL is completely different, for example, from American Sign Language. Sign language conveys meaning through the use of space and movement of the hands, body, face and head.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe know that many hearing people are keen to learn BSL (it is a very popular evening class course, for example).
