what is sse sign language

Sign Supported English (SSE) is a form of Manually-Coded English (MCE) and is also known as conceptually accurate signed English. It is a type of sign language that follows the spoken and reading English language and follows its structure. SSE is used to describe people speaking and signing at the same time, and different people have different skills in sign and spoken language. SSE uses the same signs as British Sign Language (BSL) but it is not a language on its own. When signing SSE, you dont need to sign every word, and it is a way of speaking and signing English at the same time, using BSL signs for key words while speaking English. SSE can be useful for people who are learning sign languages or want to learn basic phrases in sign language. SSE is different from BSL in that it follows English grammar, not BSL grammar. BSL is a language in its own right and is the most common form of sign language in the UK.
