Kurmanji Interpreting Services in Aylesbury

UK Linguistic Services sends professional Kurmanji interpreters in and around Aylesbury to GP surgeries and hospitals, solicitors, the police, councils and schools, in person, by phone or on a video link.

Most Kurmanji speakers from Turkey went to school in Turkish, and Kurds from Syria in Arabic, because Kurdish was kept out of the classroom in both countries; in Turkey a 1983 law banning the use of Kurdish stayed in force until 1991. So a client may fill in a Turkish form without trouble and still struggle to describe symptoms, a threat or a family dispute in anything but Kurmanji. That is often why a Kurmanji interpreter gets booked: the second language held up for routine things and gave way when it mattered.

Local Kurmanji Interpreters Around Aylesbury

Kurmanji speakers are counted with all other Kurdish speakers in the census, whose largest totals were in Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester, so nobody knows exactly where they are most numerous. If a Kurmanji interpreter can reach Aylesbury in reasonable time, we send them in person. When nobody can, video is the next best option, and a far better one than a Turkish or Arabic interpreter the client only half wanted. For a run of appointments, such as a course of therapy, ask us to keep the same interpreter throughout.

Kurmanji to English Interpreter in Aylesbury

A Kurmanji name and the name on a Turkish identity card are not always spelt alike. Turkish registries long refused q, w and x, letters Kurmanji uses and Turkish lacks; the ban was formally lifted in 2013, yet in 2022 Turkey's Constitutional Court upheld a registry's refusal to write Ciwan, and the name stayed Civan. So the name a client spells out may not match their passport. A careful interpreter points this out the first time it comes up, and the English record uses the passport form with the Kurmanji spelling noted.

Kurmanji Interpreter for Immigration Appointments in Aylesbury

Some Syrian Kurds have never held Syrian nationality. A one-day census in Hasakah province in 1962 left about 120,000 Kurds stateless: those recorded as ajanib, meaning foreigners, were given red identity cards, and the maktumeen were left off the register altogether. A 2011 decree opened citizenship to many ajanib, but not all of them acquired it. In an asylum interview those terms matter, and a red card is not a Syrian ID card, so the interpreter keeps the client's own word for their papers rather than translating it into something it isn't.

Kurmanji Medical Interpreter in Aylesbury

Kurmanji speakers often know the names of illnesses and medicines in Turkish or Arabic, the languages their doctors used, and may have no everyday Kurmanji word for them at all. A good Kurmanji medical interpreter checks which word the patient actually recognises instead of coining a pure Kurmanji term, and makes sure dosage and follow-up instructions land in words the patient will remember at home.

Kurmanji Interpreter in Aylesbury: Questions

Can a Kurmanji interpreter in Aylesbury help a Kurd from Syria?

Yes. Kurmanji is the Kurdish of north-east Syria and of Afrin in the north-west, and a Syrian Kurd will follow an interpreter from Turkey, though each side borrows from a different language, Arabic in Syria and Turkish in Turkey. For a long appointment we try to match the country.

My client in Aylesbury is Yazidi: is a Kurmanji interpreter right?

Usually, since most Yazidis speak Kurmanji. Some call their language Ezdiki rather than Kurdish, and Armenia lists Kurdish and Yezidi as separate languages, so use the name the client uses. Tell us the client is Yazidi, and we'll check the interpreter is someone they're comfortable with.

Is a Kurmanji interpreter right for a mental health assessment?

Yes, and it's one of the appointments where Kurmanji matters most. Tell us it's a mental health assessment, and whether the client has asked for a man or a woman, so we can send an interpreter with that experience.
