Nepali interpretation services
Nepali for Bhutanese-Nepali families, and for Kathmandu speech too.
Nepali at a glance
Nepali is the official language of Nepal and the primary language of resettled Bhutanese-Nepali refugees in the US. We staff interpreters with deep familiarity in both the Nepalese and Bhutanese contexts.
US Nepali interpretation often serves Bhutanese-Nepali families. Communities resettled after decades in refugee camps use Nepali that differs subtly from Kathmandu speech, and our interpreters know both contexts — the Nepalese and the Bhutanese.
Nepali has around 32 million speakers across Nepal, India, and the Bhutanese-Nepali diaspora. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.

Simultaneous or consecutive Nepali interpretation for board meetings, trainings, town halls and conferences.
Where Nepali interpretation is needed most
We match each request on language, dialect and setting, because a good rendering of a diagnosis or a court instruction takes more than fluency.
