The little village of Bengkala in Bali only has 3,003 people, but that’s not what makes them unique. What makes them special is that nearly everyone, a whopping 80 percent to be exact, of the people that live there speak sign language.

The reason for this unique talent is that the town has a huge population of deaf community members, an inherited trait that has been passed on for generation after generation for decades.

While an ordinary town of 3,000 residents would only have an average of four deaf residents, Bengkala has 44 people in their village that are deaf. Instead of ostracizing the deaf members of their community, they have welcomed them with open arms, and a language all their own.

The town has made up their own form of sign language called Kata Kolok and most of the population in the town knows how to speak it. Even the students in school are taught the language from a very young age.
