Kiunguja is the Swahili dialect of Zanzibar City and the variety on which modern standard Swahili is based, a Bantu language of the wider Niger-Congo family and the main lingua franca of East Africa. Its speakers in Britain belong to the East African community, chiefly Tanzanians, Kenyans and Zanzibaris, concentrated in London and the larger English cities. Our Swahili and Kiunguja translation work is mostly civil documents, birth, marriage and death certificates, for Home Office and UKVI immigration, settlement and asylum applications, together with court and tribunal papers and academic transcripts evaluated by UK ENIC for universities and professional registration. Swahili has around 5 million native speakers and, counting second-language users across the African Great Lakes region, is understood by anywhere from 60 to 150 million people.
Prism Linguistics provides Kiunguju translation, interpreting and transcription across the UK in 300+ languages. Whether you need a certified document for the Home Office, a court interpreter, an NHS appointment or a business meeting, our vetted native-speaker linguists are ready to help.
