Ban Khor Sign Language (BKSL) is a village sign language used by about 1000 people of a rice-farming community in the villages of Ban Khor and Plaa Pag in a remote area of Isan (northeastern Thailand). Ban Khor proper and Plaa Pag are dialects with some 80% of signs in common. It developed about 60–80 years ago due to a high number of deaf people.
