Assyrian Interpreting Services in Duns

UK Linguistic Services provides professional Assyrian interpreters in and around Duns for NHS appointments, police and solicitors, schools, housing officers and family events, in person or by telephone and video.

For Assyrians, the name of the language is also the name of the people, and clients notice when a booking gets it right. Most Assyrian speakers in the UK have roots in Iraq, some in Iran and Syria, and many came as refugees from wars that emptied their home villages. Plenty of older Assyrians never had schooling in their mother tongue, having been educated in Arabic or Persian, yet it is the language they think and worry in. That is why an Assyrian interpreter, rather than an Arabic one, can change how much a patient or witness is able to say.

Local Assyrian Interpreters Around Duns

There are not many Assyrian interpreters in the UK, so one may well need to travel. For an appointment outside the capital we will still try to find someone who can come in person; when the travel would be long or the date is close, an Assyrian interpreter on video is the practical answer and loses little in a sit-down conversation.

Assyrian to English Interpreter in Duns

Speech differs by region. The written standard grew out of the dialect of Urmia in north-west Iran, while Assyrians from Iraq often speak a common spoken form that mixes speakers from many old village dialects. Families from Iran bring Persian words with them, families from Iraq bring Arabic ones. Tell us which country the client grew up in and we will match the Assyrian interpreter to it.

Assyrian Medical Interpreter in Duns

Observant Assyrians keep long church fasts, including the three-day Nineveh fast before Lent and the fast of Lent itself, when many go without meat and dairy. A patient on insulin or blood thinners may quietly change their diet, or skip a tablet, without mentioning it. An interpreter who knows the church calendar can help the clinician ask the right question.

Assyrian Police Interpreter in Duns

At a police station or a solicitor's office, a family's first instinct may be to answer through the relative with the best English. That relative may be a witness too. Bring in a professional Assyrian interpreter, and check at the start that the client understands the interpreter's dialect.

Assyrian Interpreter for Schools and Councils in Duns

Parents who arrived as refugees may have had their own schooling cut short, so a parents' evening, an admissions appeal or a special educational needs meeting can be hard to follow even with good will on both sides. An interpreter lets the parent ask the question they would have asked at home.

Duns is the county town of Berwickshire, which now lies inside the Scottish Borders council area, and Scotland's Census 2022 counted 3,127 people in the Duns locality. The County Buildings on Newtown Street housed Berwickshire Sheriff Court until it closed on 28 January 2015, and there is no court in the town today. The nearest is Jedburgh Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court, about 22 miles south, with Selkirk Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court about 25 miles south-west, so a citation for someone from Duns may well name a building a long way from home. Read the venue on the letter before booking; we send the interpreter to whichever court has actually listed the case.

The Knoll Hospital, run by NHS Borders, is in the town. The board also runs Kelso Hospital, about 13 miles south, and a day hospital in Eyemouth, about 12 miles north-east. Berwick Infirmary sits about 13 miles east, over the border, and belongs to Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust rather than NHS Borders, which matters when a referral letter comes from the English side. Two A roads cross here: the A6105 from Earlston to Berwick-upon-Tweed and the A6112 from Coldstream to Grantshouse. The station closed to passengers in 1951, so people reach Duns by car or on the buses that link it with Galashiels, Eyemouth and Berwick-upon-Tweed.

We take bookings 24/7, and interpreters work face to face, by telephone or by video. From Duns the same service reaches Greenlaw, about 6 miles south-west, Coldstream about 9 miles south-east and Kelso about 13 miles south.

Assyrian Interpreter in Duns: Questions

Can an Assyrian interpreter in Duns also help a Chaldean speaker?

Usually, yes, since the two are close. For a long or sensitive meeting, mention the family's church and home town and we will aim for the nearest match.

Can I get an Assyrian interpreter in Duns for this week?

Often, especially by telephone or video. We take bookings 24/7; the more notice you give, the better the chance of someone in person.

Will the Assyrian interpreter keep what we discuss private?

Yes. Our interpreters work to a code of confidentiality. In a small community that matters, so tell us if there is anyone the client would not want to be interpreted by.
