Karenni translation services
Kayah Li, Latin, or Burmese script — we confirm before we start.
Karenni at a glance
Karenni (Kayah Li) is spoken by the ethnic Karenni people of Kayah State, Myanmar. Many speakers were resettled in the US after years in Thai refugee camps — we staff interpreters from the same communities.
Kayah Li has its own alphabet, devised in the twentieth century, alongside Latin- and Burmese-based orthographies. Literacy varies across communities, so we confirm which orthography the audience actually reads — and often recommend spoken-word formats over print.
Karenni has around half a million speakers, primarily in Kayah State, Myanmar. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
