British Sign Language was a type of communication used between deaf people in the United Kingdom.

In 2119, Cass, the second in command for an underwater mining facility in Scotland, communicated with her team only in British Sign Language, which was translated by fellow employee Lunn. The Twelfth Doctor attempted to respond to her in BSL but soon realised he had forgotten how to. (TV: Under the Lake)
