Need a Behdini interpreter in Regina? Prism Linguistics arranges professional Behdini interpreters for court and tribunal hearings, hospital and clinic appointments, IRCC interviews and police or community meetings, on site in Regina or by telephone and video, with a fixed quote before you book.
Behdini interpreters in Regina for hearings, medical and settlement appointments, with the exact Kurdish variety confirmed since a Sorani speaker is often not understood by a Behdini speaker.
Matching starts by separating Behdini from Sorani, the central Kurdish spoken further south around Sulaymaniyah and Erbil, because a Sorani interpreter is often not understood by a Behdini speaker. We also distinguish it from the Kurmanji of Turkey and Syria, since vocabulary and accent differ.
Our Behdini interpreters work in IRB refugee hearings and IRCC interviews, Canadian court and tribunal settings, hospital and clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA privacy rules, and settlement and school meetings. We confirm the client's preferred language and the interpreting requirements before each booking so the right Behdini interpreter is assigned, and Behdini interpreting is available in Regina on site and by phone or video across Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Regina we assign a Behdini interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. Courts, law firms, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private clients book us directly.
Behdini interpreters in Regina for IRB refugee hearings, IRCC interviews and hospital visits, with Behdini kept separate from Sorani and from Turkish or Syrian Kurmanji at booking so the speaker is actually understood.
Regina is Saskatchewan's capital, a centre for government, agriculture, energy and finance on Treaty 4 territory and in the homeland of the Metis. Immigration has reshaped the city, with newcomers making up a large share of recent growth. Tagalog and Punjabi are the most common non-official mother tongues, followed by Arabic, Hindi and Spanish, while Cree, Michif and other Indigenous languages remain part of the region.
This diversity creates steady demand for translation and interpreting. The Court of King's Bench for Saskatchewan and the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan both sit in Regina, and the Regina General Hospital under the Saskatchewan Health Authority treats patients across many languages. The University of Regina, the Regina Open Door Society and other settlement agencies serving IRCC newcomers, and employers in government, agriculture and energy regularly need accurate translation and interpreting.

Behdini (also Badini) is a dialect of Northern Kurdish (Kurmanji), spoken by perhaps 3 million people primarily in the Dohuk region of Iraqi Kurdistan and adjacent parts of Turkey and Syria. Although classified as Kurmanji, Behdini has distinctive vocabulary and intonation, and Iraqi-Kurdish documents from Dohuk may identify as Behdini specifically. Our Behdini translation work overlaps with general Kurmanji and Sorani requests - IRB refugee paperwork, IRCC resettlement and sponsorship documents, and family-reunification records from the long Iraqi-conflict timeline.
