Need a Hassaniyya interpreter in Burnaby? Prism Linguistics arranges professional Hassaniyya interpreters for court and tribunal hearings, hospital and clinic appointments, IRCC interviews and police or community meetings, on site in Burnaby or by telephone and video, with a fixed quote before you book.
Our Hassaniyya interpreters cover IRB hearings, IRCC interviews and medical appointments in Burnaby, and we confirm the speaker's variety and the setting at booking.
The Hassaniyya need is largely spoken, and it matters that the interpreter actually speaks the variety. A Standard Arabic or Levantine interpreter will follow only part of a Hassaniyya account, which has its own vocabulary and pronunciation, so we match a Hassaniyya speaker for an IRB refugee hearing or an IRCC interview rather than a generic Arabic speaker. We confirm the client's preferred language and the interpreting requirements before the hearing so a Hassaniyya interpreter, not a generic Arabic one, is assigned.
Interpreting is available in Burnaby on site, and by phone or video across Canada. Remote sessions are common. Tell us at booking that the speaker uses Hassaniyya, and where they are from, so we send the right person.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Hassaniyya 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.
Hassaniyya interpreters in Burnaby attend IRB refugee hearings and IRCC interviews, matched to the Hassaniyya variety specifically so a Mauritanian or Sahrawi account is not half-followed by a generic Arabic speaker.

It is highly multilingual: English is the mother tongue of about 41 per cent of residents, while more than half report another first language, and the Chinese community, including Mandarin and Cantonese speakers, is the single largest group, alongside Korean, Tagalog and Punjabi speakers.

Burnaby Hospital operates under the Fraser Health authority, and the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia serve the area. Together these institutions, along with settlement agencies and local businesses, generate ongoing demand for translation and interpreting in the community's many languages.

Hassaniyya is an Arabic dialect spoken by around 4 million people in Mauritania, Western Sahara, and parts of Morocco, Algeria, Mali, and Senegal. It's the language of the Sahrawi people and significantly diverged from Modern Standard Arabic, with influences from Berber and West African languages. Hassaniyya speakers in Canada are served through our national interpreter network, with records from Mauritania and the region issued in Standard Arabic or French and translated from those.
