Kata Kolok: The Unique Sign Language of Bengkala, Bali's Deaf Village

Welcome to this fascinating video about Bengkala, a small village located in the heart of Bali's lush jungle. This village is home to a unique demographic anomaly that has fascinated researchers and linguists for years. Out of a total population of 3,000 people, 40 of them are Deaf, and this condition is linked to a recessive gene that has been passed down through seven generations.

But instead of ostracizing the Deaf members of their community, the people of Bengkala have come up with a truly remarkable solution. They created their own sign language, known as Kata Kolok, which is now spoken by 80 percent of the population. Kata Kolok is not simply a local dialect of a larger sign language but a distinct language in its own right, with its own unique grammar, syntax, and vocabulary.

So join us as we delve into the world of Bengkala and discover the remarkable story of this small village that has managed to create a language that unites its entire population, regardless of their abilities.
