Punjabi interpretation services
Punjabi across the border — and the Sikh community contexts that come with it.
Punjabi at a glance
Punjabi has a large Sikh diaspora population in North America and the UK. We staff Sikh-community-fluent interpreters for healthcare, legal, and faith-based community work.
Punjabi spans the India–Pakistan border. Dialects like Majhi, Doabi, and Malwai colour the spoken language, and large diaspora communities in Canada, the UK, and the US often specifically request interpreters familiar with Sikh community contexts.
Punjabi has more than 150 million speakers across India, Pakistan, and the diaspora. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
