"Ashanti" is the older English spelling of Asante, the people and kingdom whose capital is Kumasi. When a client asks for an Ashanti interpreter, they almost always mean an interpreter in Asante Twi, and that is who we send. It is the form of Akan a Ghanaian from almost anywhere in the south is likely to follow, so an Ashanti interpreter is a sound choice when you are not sure exactly where in Ghana somebody is from.

Want an Ashanti interpreter in Birmingham? Phone us on 0800 2425 125 or send the booking to quotes@uklinguisticservices.co.uk; if the person comes from Kumasi or elsewhere in the Ashanti Region, put that in the message.

Local Ashanti Interpreters Around Birmingham

The census does not count Ashanti on its own: Asante speakers are included under Akan, alongside Fante and Akuapem speakers. What it does show is that the language is concentrated in London and a few towns around it. Our Asante Twi interpreters are spread the same way, so for Birmingham we'll offer whoever can reach you and, if nobody can, a remote interpreter.

Ashanti to English Interpreter in Birmingham

Asante society gives a lot of weight to titles. Chiefs and queen mothers are addressed as Nana, and a chief is known by a stool name, sometimes with a number after it, like a monarch. On a UK form that stool name can look like a second identity. An interpreter who knows the custom can explain it before anyone starts to suspect a false name.

Ashanti Interpreter for Business Meetings in Birmingham

The Ashanti Region produces cocoa, timber and gold, and some UK firms deal with suppliers and landowners there. Senior Asante businesspeople often speak excellent English, but negotiations with elders or a family that owns land are frequently held in Asante Twi, with greetings and courtesies to the elders before any figures are discussed.

Ashanti Medical Interpreter in Birmingham

At a hospital bedside, the Ashanti interpreter often has several relatives to deal with as well as the patient, because decisions about an older person's care are usually shared across the family. It helps the clinician to know who the family regards as the one who speaks for them.

Ashanti Interpreters Near You in Birmingham

Birmingham's main court buildings are grouped close together in the city centre. Magistrates' and youth cases are heard at the Victoria Law Courts on Corporation Street, the Crown Court sits in the Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts on Newton Street, and County Court and Family Court work goes to the Birmingham Civil and Family Justice Centre at Priory Courts, 33 Bull Street. Priory Courts also houses the First-tier Tribunal's Immigration and Asylum Chamber. With three buildings this near one another, the interpreter needs the building name from the hearing notice, not just the city. Employment claims go to the Midlands (West) Employment Tribunal on the 13th floor of Centre City Tower, Hill Street, which it shares with the Property Chamber's residential property tribunal for the region.

Hospital work is spread much more widely. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust runs Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Heartlands Hospital, Good Hope Hospital and Solihull Hospital, and the QE and Heartlands alone are about five miles apart, one south-west of the centre and the other east of it. Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust opened Midland Metropolitan University Hospital on Grove Lane in Smethwick on 6 October 2024, and the A&E at City Hospital on Dudley Road was due to close the following month, so older paperwork naming City Hospital should be checked against the current appointment letter. Birmingham Children's Hospital, run by Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, is in the city centre too.

The City of Birmingham had 1,144,919 usual residents at the 2021 Census. Interviews with West Midlands Police, Birmingham City Council housing and social care appointments, GP visits and school meetings are all covered, in the city and out across the Black Country in West Bromwich, Walsall, Dudley and Stourbridge, as well as Halesowen and Solihull. Anyone flying in lands at Birmingham Airport, in the borough of Solihull about 8 miles east-south-east of the city centre, which an air-rail link joins to Birmingham International station on the West Coast Main Line.
