"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 Bristol? 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 Bristol

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 Bristol we'll offer whoever can reach you and, if nobody can, a remote interpreter.

Ashanti to English Interpreter in Bristol

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 Bristol

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 Bristol

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.

Bristol's courts are spread over three buildings in the city. Crown Court trials are at the Law Courts on Small Street. The Bristol Magistrates' Court and Tribunals Hearing Centre on Marlborough Street takes criminal cases and also hears social security appeals. Civil, family and employment work goes to the Bristol Civil and Family Justice Centre at 2 Redcliff Street, which also houses a High Court District Registry. Beyond the city, the nearest courts are Bath Law Courts on North Parade Road, about 12 miles south-east, and the North Somerset Courthouse at St Georges in Weston-super-Mare, about 15 miles south-west.

On the health side, the Bristol Royal Infirmary is a general acute hospital within the city, and Southmead Hospital is about 3 miles north. Both now come under Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, which brought together the hospitals of North Bristol NHS Trust and University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust and groups its sites as City, Southmead and Weston. With one trust name on letters for all of them, the site written under it is what tells you where to send the interpreter. Callington Road Hospital, a mental health hospital about 2 miles south-east, is run by a different body, Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.

Bristol City Council's area had 472,400 residents at the 2021 Census, up 10.3% on 2011, according to the ONS.

Kingswood is about 4 miles east, Bath about 11 miles south-east, Chepstow about 13 miles north, Wells about 17 miles south, Weston-super-Mare about 18 miles south-west and Trowbridge about 19 miles south-east.
