"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 Canterbury? 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 Canterbury

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

Ashanti to English Interpreter in Canterbury

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 Canterbury

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 Canterbury

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 Canterbury

Canterbury has two court buildings, and children cases appear in the lists of both, so the address on the notice decides where the interpreter goes. Canterbury Magistrates' Court on Broad Street hears criminal cases, children cases and domestic violence matters. Canterbury Combined Court Centre, in The Law Courts on Chaucer Road, takes criminal work as well as county court and family business: money claims, housing possession, bankruptcy, divorce, adoption and children cases, with a High Court district registry on site. For an employment or social security case, the nearest tribunal hearing centre is at Ashford House in Ashford, about 13 miles south-west.

Kent and Canterbury Hospital, about a mile south of the centre, is one of five hospitals run by East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. The trust's other sites are William Harvey in Ashford, QEQM in Margate, Buckland in Dover and the Royal Victoria in Folkestone, and a letter from the trust can name any of them, so confirm the site before the interpreter sets off. St Martins Hospital, about a mile east, is a mental health site run by Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust. Canterbury City Council governs the city, and Kent Police covers the whole county.

The Canterbury district had about 157,400 residents at the 2021 Census. Two universities, the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University, add a large student population, and students book interpreters for GP visits, tenancy problems and police matters like anyone else. The city has two stations, Canterbury West and Canterbury East, both served by Southeastern. Folkestone lies about 14 miles south, Dover about 14 miles south-east, Margate about 15 miles north-east, and Maidstone and Chatham some 24 to 25 miles west.
