It looks as if 50,000 people use British Sign Language as their first language or preferred means of communication. There isn't a definitive number of *deaf* people that do so, but we can use the population of the UK and the number of deaf people, in total, in the UK, to estimate. Current population of the UK: 60,776,238 as of July 2007 (estimate only). There are 8,945,000 deaf and hard of hearing people. Dividing that by the current UK population gives us: 15 percent of the population of the UK are deaf or hard of hearing. Now, 50,000 * 15% = 7,500 people in the UK who use British Sign Language as their first language/preferred means of communication are deaf. No Its like 8,998,107
