Fukienese, better known as Hokkien, is a southern Chinese language from Fujian province, also widely spoken in Taiwan and among the Chinese communities of Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. In the UK its speakers are part of the wider British Chinese population, though most official documents are written in standard Chinese rather than Hokkien, so our Fukienese work is mainly interpreting: NHS appointments, court and tribunal hearings, and business meetings for older speakers more comfortable in Hokkien than Mandarin. Where documents are involved we translate certificates and records for Home Office and university use. Hokkien and its related Southern Min varieties are spoken by tens of millions of people, with recent estimates of around 45 million.
