"Since there has never been a census of deaf people in Viet Nam, the real number of signers is unknown. However, some estimate of the number of signers can be made.... Using United Nations estimates of 1 person out of every 1,000 person born profoundly deaf or becoming profoundly deaf at an early age, there would be an estimate of 1,837 deaf people living in the area where HPSL is used. The estimated number of users of HPSL is up to 1,800 users."

"Almost all schools in the northern part of Viet Nam are oral only or use some simultaneous communication. No schools have yet been found which use HPSL as it is used by Deaf people in Hai Phong."
"Currently the Vietnamese government is preparing a law for people with disabilities based on the UN Convention on the Rights of People With Disabilities. While it is known that sign language or sign languages will be mentioned in the law, but it is not know at this time what information about sign languages in Viet Nam will be included in the law."
