High-quality Somali translations
Somali is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken by about 12 million people, mainly in the Horn of Africa. It’s the official language of Somalia, Somaliland, the so-called Somali region, Ethiopia and Djibouti.
Outside of Somalia, the language is spoken by the people who were forced to flee from the dictator Siad Barres. For this reason, groups of Somali speakers exist in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as in some Scandinavian countries, Italy and the Netherlands. These native speakers of Somali living outside of Somalia make up a group of over 3 million people.

Somali was standardised after it was declared the official language of Somalia. All mass media, as well as the entire educational system of Somalia, had to be switched from English and Italian to Somali. At the time, there were high levels of illiteracy in the Somali population. But as of today, more than half of the inhabitants of Somalia can read and write.
This means that the requirement for translations to and from Somali is growing. And we can help you translate all your documents, no matter how small or large, and no matter the subject.
Instant quotationThe Somali language has many idiosyncrasies; for example, the meaning of a word in a sentence is emphasised by a strong inflection, and nouns can also be defined as masculine or feminine.
