British Sign Language should be there.

Also there aren't that many Irish speakers. It includes the Republic of Ireland, which isn't part of the UK

Hey there, the caveat states the estimated speaker population is based on speakers worldwide, meaning it would include northern Ireland (there aren't 360 million English speakers in England either!). As for BSL I've added this in now, should update soon. Thanks!
