Sign for Milton Keynes?


Recommended Posts

Can anyone show me the BSL sign for the place 'Milton Keynes'. As a local I would imagine that fingerspelling 'M' and then 'K' would do it - as the locals all call this place MK. I've searched and can't find any official answer, so your input is very welcome 😊

To sign "Milton Keynes" in British Sign Language (BSL), you typically follow these steps:

  1. "Milton": You can sign "Milton" by using the fingerspelling for "M" and "K." Hold your dominant hand in a "M" shape and touch it to the side of your forehead or chin, similar to the sign for other place names.

  2. "Keynes": For "Keynes," fingerspell the letters "K," "E," "Y," "N," "E," and "S" in BSL.

Place names in BSL are often fingerspelled, especially for specific towns or cities. However, it's good to note that sign names can vary depending on the local community or individual preferences. You could also check with a local BSL user for more details or a possible regional variation!

    • Having an awareness of sign language is so important. Being able to communicate with others and be inclusive is part of what makes us the sociable species we are. Making BSL available to more people and even at school from an early age would help everyone communicate more easily. I'm also learning to keep my mind active and to help with some volunteering I do.

    • Hi, I have wanted to learn BSL for a long time, but have only recently got around to it. I am a rugby player going into cardiac physiology and want to be able to communicate with any patients whose preferred communication method is BSL. Feel free to reach out, as I would love to communicate with others who know BSL.

    • Hi my name is Sara I have always been keen to learn BSL, having done small amounts in the past at school/youth groups, but have taken the decision to teach myself now as a hobby mainly but also as a result of starting to suffer from hearing loss at 46. I work at a University and feel it may be a good tool and skill to potentially help any students needing support being a bonus.
