Mirpuri is the everyday language of most British Pakistanis, who trace their roots to the Mirpur district of Azad Kashmir. It is a variety of Pahari-Pothwari and is largely the same as the Pothwari spoken across the border in Pakistan, so the labels Mirpuri, Pahari and Pothwari overlap in practice. Speakers cluster in the West Midlands and West Yorkshire, in places like Birmingham, Bradford and Luton, making it one of the most spoken community languages in Britain even though the census undercounts it. Mirpuri is chiefly a spoken language: written documents are handled in standard Urdu, so most of our Mirpuri work is interpreting for NHS, court and Home Office settings. As a Pahari-Pothwari variety it has several million speakers.
Prism Linguistics provides Mirpuri 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.
