BSL Fingerspelling Alphabet

Fingerspelling is a way of spelling words using hand movements. The fingerspelling manual alphabet is used in sign language to spell out names of people and places for which there is not a sign. Fingerspelling can also be used to spell words for signs that the signer does not know the sign for, or to clarify a sign that is not known by the person reading the signer. Fingerspelling signs are often also incorporated into other BSL signs.

British Sign Language (BSL) uses the two-handed alphabet however some other sign languages use the one-handed alphabet.

  ok Donna, it is showing you need to turn your mic on or volume up. Unmute yourself.

  I'm sorry, but I don't know how to switch the camera/microphone on. I tried to get on early, for any teething problems but didn't expect this to happen.

  Hi Carole, I can see you in the room. I'm trying to get on but it's saying I'm unable to use microphone and camera. Bear with me, I am trying. Donna
