How many deaf people in the UK use BSL as their preferred means of communication?

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

Relationships between communication and language?

language and communication should come together.. like strawberry and cream. first let's see the definition of each term. communication is when the first person is talking, the second person should be listening. and vice-versa. while language is the means of communication. Once the second person does not have the capacity to understand the language that the first person has been using, we cannot have a communication. Does it makes sense huh?-samishiyoru
