Overview

More than six million people in southern Africa speak Afrikaans as their native tongue. Another 12-16 million have basic knowledge of the language.

This means that it is an important language in business, particularly for those with customers, contacts, and partners in South Africa, where the largest population of Afrikaans speakers reside. It is one of 11 official languages spoken in the country and is often referred to as “Cape Dutch” or Colonial Dutch,” as the language originated from modern Dutch.

You may also require translations to or from Afrikaans if you do business in Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, or Zambia.

The Albanian language (Gjuha Shqipe) belongs to the Indo-European language family and is spoken in Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, Croatia, and also partly in Romania, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. There are an estimated 7.5 million native speakers and it is also the official language of Albania and Kosovo. There are two large dialect groups of the Albanian language: Gheg in the North and Tosk in the South. We always take these differences into consideration in our translations.

Amharic isn’t exactly what you would call a world language, even though it’s the native tongue of at least 17 million people, while around 4 million speak Amharic as their second language.

Classical Arabic is the written form of the language, and it has changed very little since it was used to write the Quran in the 7th century.

One usually distinguishes around fifty or sixty modern Armenian dialects, a number of which are now extinct. Modern Armenian was canonized in the 19th century and consists of two branches: Western (based on western dialects such as that of Constantinople / Polis) and Eastern (based on the dialects spoken on the Ararat plain and surroundings).

Modern Armenian is spoken in the Republic of Armenia and the (de facto Armenian) Republic of Artsakh / Arcʻax (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic / Mountainous Gharabagh). Historically, it was spoken on a vast territory that basically included the Armenian Highlands (the Armenian plateau) and some adjacent areas.

A few others live in Navarre and in the three departments of French Pyrenees Labourd, Basse Navarre, and Soule. 

The Bengali language belongs to the Indo-European language family and the Indo-Iranian branch. It’s the furthest east of the Indo-European family and is spoken by about 220 million people worldwide.
