Behdini Interpreting Services in Newbury

UK Linguistic Services offers professional Behdini interpreters in and around Newbury for Kurds from northern Iraq, at hospitals and GP surgeries, solicitors' offices, Home Office interviews, schools and council services, in person or remotely.

Behdini speakers come from the far north of Iraq: Duhok, Zakho, Akre, Amedi and the mountain villages between them, the old Bahdinan region. Because Sorani is the Kurdish of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, anyone with an Iraqi Kurdish background is easily booked a Sorani interpreter, and a Behdini speaker then sits through an appointment catching only part of it. The person from Duhok at a GP surgery, a solicitor's office or a Home Office interview is the one who needs Behdini, and asking for their home town is how you find out.

Local Behdini Interpreters Around Newbury

There are far fewer Behdini interpreters in Britain than Sorani ones, and the census, which counts Kurdish as a single language, gives no separate picture of where Behdini speakers live. Our first try for Newbury is always someone who can attend in person. If nobody suitable is within reach, we suggest video, which works for most appointments and lets us draw on interpreters from anywhere in the country; a telephone line is fine for a quick call to confirm a time or pass on a result.

Behdini to English Interpreter in Newbury

A Kurmanji interpreter from Turkey will usually be understood by a Behdini speaker in ordinary conversation, but the two have borrowed their newer words from different places, Duhok from Arabic and Turkey from Turkish, and each area has everyday expressions of its own. In a statement, a medical history or a child protection meeting, those are exactly the words that matter. Book a Behdini speaker for anything that will be written down or relied on later, and ask the interpreter to flag any word they're unsure of.

Behdini Medical Interpreter in Newbury

The Kurmanji of Duhok is close to the speech of many Yazidis (Ezidis) from Sinjar and Shekhan, and thousands of Yazidi families lived for years in camps in Duhok governorate after the Islamic State attack on Sinjar in August 2014. Medical and mental health appointments with survivors need an interpreter who stays steady with traumatic material, and a woman may want a female interpreter. Some Yazidi clients prefer an interpreter from outside their own community and others one from within it, so ask them.

Behdini Interpreter for Schools and Councils in Newbury

Younger people from Duhok were taught at school in Behdini itself, written in Arabic script, rather than in the Sorani of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah; older ones may have been schooled in Arabic. So a school letter or council notice in Sorani is harder going for a Duhok family than you might expect, and one in Latin-script Kurmanji may be unreadable to them. For a parents' evening, a housing interview or a child protection conference, book Behdini, and for letters ask us which written version suits the family.

Behdini Interpreter in Newbury: Questions

Is Behdini the same as Badini or Bahdini?

Yes, they are three spellings of one name. It comes from Bahdinan, a Kurdish emirate whose capital for most of its history was Amedi.

Can a Sorani interpreter in Newbury stand in for Behdini?

It's a poor substitute. The client may catch the drift but miss the detail, and detail is what a diagnosis or a statement depends on. If no Behdini interpreter can attend, video usually serves the client better than Sorani in person.

Can a Behdini interpreter in Newbury read Iraqi documents aloud?

Many Iraqi official papers are in Arabic, so reading one aloud needs Arabic as well as Behdini. Tell us in advance and we'll check the interpreter reads Arabic; for a formal translation, book a translator separately.
