Expert Interpretation for African Languages

Africa’s linguistic diversity is extraordinary. With over 2,000 languages and countless variants, the continent is home to nearly a third of the world’s spoken languages. 

We offer interpretation in:

• Fulani (Fula/Fulfulde/Pulaar)

• Malinke

• Mandingo

• Sango

• Wolof

• Lingala

• Kpelle

• Dinka

• Nuer

• Susu

• Tamazight

• Taselhit

• And many others

  
  

These languages belong to several major families, each with its own grammar, history, and cultural background.

• Niger-Congo languages like Fulani, Malinke, Mandingo, Kpelle, and Susu use tones and patterns that make them sound musical and expressive.

• Central African languages such as Sango and Lingala mix influences from different regions, making them flexible and easy to adapt to different situations.

• Nilo-Saharan languages like Dinka and Nuer use changes in pitch and vowel sounds to create different meanings.

• Afro-Asiatic languages like Tamazight have been spoken for thousands of years and continue to be used across North Africa today.

  
  

Our African language interpreters are native speakers with an expert grasp of language, culture, and context. They understand that true communication depends on tone, respect, and shared understanding as much as on the words themselves.
