Somali Translations:

A Portal to New Connections in the Greater Somalia Region

Spoken by the Somali diaspora worldwide, Somali is the native language of some 18 million people, of whom only an estimated 7 million reside officially within in Somalia. Somaliland, Ethiopia, and Kenya are among Somalia’s numerous surrounding neighbors along the Horn of Africa where the Somali language is commonly spoken. With so many different cultural nuances that vary across regions, the importance of understanding local communities is critical for ensuring success in whatever product or service is entering the market. Whether you are seeking Somali to English translations or English to Somali translations, it is essential to ensure the cultural appropriateness and local sophistication of every project entering or expanding from Somalia and the surrounding Somali speaking region.

Through our in-country, subject matter expert linguists, and with over 20 years of experience, CSOFT understands the importance of distinguishing different dialects of Somali depending on the project.

Somali translations

CSOFT specializes in all types of Somali translation solutions, including:

  • Northern Somali (widely considered Standard Somali)
  • Benadir (also called Coastal Somali)
  • Maay

While the Nothern Somali and Benadir dialects share considerable overlap and are mutually intelligible, divergent dialects exist even within the above three groupings as one travels from place to place in and around Somalia.
