The Arabic Dialects We Cover — Matched to Your Community
A Saudi businessman, a Syrian asylum seeker and an Egyptian patient speak very different Arabic. Booking the wrong dialect can cause real misunderstandings in court, in clinic and in business. We match every interpreter to the exact dialect — and to the London community they serve.
The formal register used in courts, official documents, news media and pan-Arab settings. Required for most certified legal work and formal proceedings.
The everyday Arabic of the Levant — distinctive vowels and vocabulary. The most common spoken Arabic across central London.
The Arabic of the Gulf states. Essential for healthcare tourism, embassies, business delegations and high-net-worth client work.
One of the most widely recognised spoken Arabics, used in film and media. Frequently spoken across London’s wider Arab community.
Distinctive vocabulary and pronunciation. Critical for asylum, immigration and community work with Iraqi London communities.
North African Arabic, with French and Berber influences. Distinct enough that other Arabic speakers may struggle without a specialist.
Important for asylum and community work with London’s Sudanese population — particularly in the wake of conflict-driven displacement.
A distinct dialect with conservative features. Essential for Yemeni asylum cases and community settings.
Not sure which dialect you need? Send us a brief description and we’ll advise.
