Bhutanese Sign Language

If you've never delved into the realm of sign language, allow me to introduce you to Bhutanese Sign Language (BhSL).

Bhutan, like many other nations, cherishes its own distinct sign language, Bhutanese Sign Language (BhSL). It serves as a living cultural treasure, embodying the spirit and identity of the deaf community in Bhutan. Similar to how the spoken Dzongkha language reflects cultural heritage, BhSL is an integral part of Bhutanese society's rich tapestry.

 BhSL, like all sign languages, transcends mere communication—it is a testament to the resilience and strength of Bhutan's deaf community.

Join me on a journey of discovery into the beauty of BhSL. I encourage you to explore resources from the Wangsel Institute of the Deaf, including YouTube videos and downloadable apps, to learn more.
