"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 Portsmouth? 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 Portsmouth

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

Ashanti to English Interpreter in Portsmouth

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 Portsmouth

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 Portsmouth

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.

Two court buildings stand on Winston Churchill Avenue in the city centre. Portsmouth Combined Court Centre, at the Courts of Justice, deals with crime, children and divorce cases and money claims, and Portsmouth Magistrates' Court is at the Law Courts on the same avenue. The nearest venue for employment and social security hearings is Havant Justice Centre on Elmleigh Road, about 6 miles north-east, and the Isle of Wight Combined Court sits in Newport, about 11 miles south-west.

Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust runs Queen Alexandra Hospital, its general acute site, about 4 miles north of the centre, and St Mary's Hospital, about a mile east. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust also reports services on both of those sites and runs Gosport War Memorial Hospital, a community hospital about 2 miles west. A letter that says only 'St Mary's' or 'QA' should therefore be checked for the trust as well as the building before an interpreter is booked.
