Translations between Somali and English: Available Here!

Somalia’s economy has been growing steadily over the decades even as it faces various internal struggles. The East African nation has been building itself up, improving its economy and quality of life, and though the country still faces challenges, prospects are becoming ever better. More Somali companies have begun expanding their business to nearby countries—and even the world stage—while foreign companies have started investing more and more in Somalia, particularly given its strategic location near the Arabian Peninsula.

Most of Somalia speaks Somali, the national language and lingua franca, so if you’re sending a message to the Somali people, Somali translation services are a must. Somali is spoken widely in Somali and the unrecognized Somaliland, as well as in Djibouti, the Somali Region of Ethiopia, and northeastern Kenya. It’s also spoken across the large Somali diaspora that spans the world, with particularly large communities in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, among others. No matter who you are or what your message is, the Somali translators at ProofreadingServices.com can help you communicate.

Somali Translation Poses No Problems for Us

The Cushitic language of Somali is related to Oromo and Afar and more distantly to Arabic, Amharic, and Hausa. Somali distinguishes between four basic cases and two genders, and it marks definiteness with a nominal suffix but leaves indefinite nouns unmarked. Somali is a highly irregular language, making it difficult to learn—no clear pattern determines the gender assignment of words, and some words even change genders between singular and plural. There are also several strategies to mark plurals, with irregular plural formation common.

In terms of pronouns, Somali features separate subject and object pronouns for each person—including two different first-person plural pronouns, depending on whether the listener is included. Pronouns are then further divided into emphatic and short forms. Regarding Somali syntax, the language uses a topic–comment system to direct focus to the noun phrase or verb phrase, influencing the nuance of sentences. So, Somali is tricky, but luckily, our Somali translators are well versed with the challenges and are experts at producing top-level Somali translations.
