Ban Khor Sign Language is a village sign language, known locally as pasa kidd, used in the rice-farming village of Ban Khor in a remote part of Isan, Thailand, where it developed in the 1930s because of a high incidence of deafness. As of 2009 it had about 16 deaf and roughly 400 hearing users out of 2,741 villagers, and it is a language isolate, unrelated to Thailand's other sign languages such as Old Bangkok Sign Language and the national Thai Sign Language.
