Prism Linguistics provides professional Kashmiri interpreters and certified Kashmiri translation across Canada, for immigration files, family and medical matters. Kashmiri (Koshur) is a Dardic language of the Kashmir Valley, and civil records are often issued in Urdu or English rather than Kashmiri itself.
Kashmiri has valley and outlying varieties differing in vocabulary and pronunciation, so before the appointment we settle which variety the client speaks and what the setting requires, and a Kashmiri interpreter is assigned to suit it rather than a single assumed standard.
Interpreters attend IRCC interviews, family and legal matters, and hospital and clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA, in person in the larger centres where one is near or by telephone and video anywhere in Canada, and a gender preference can be noted in advance.
Common settings include legal and court interpreting, medical and hospital interpreting, IRCC and Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) interviews, and police and enforcement work. See all on-site interpreting options or start a free quote.
Kashmiri is written most often in a Perso-Arabic script adapted with extra vowel marks, and also in Devanagari, while an older Sharada tradition survives largely in scholarship, so a translator confirms the source and spelling before starting. Official records from the region, such as birth, marriage and school certificates, are frequently issued in Urdu or English, so a request often runs from one of those, while a Kashmiri-language text is more likely a personal letter, statement or religious paper.
We render precisely what the page shows, hold each name to one transliteration across the file, and flag any variant spelling for the reviewer. Output is issued by a certified translator or supported by a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths, useful where a record was registered late or is missing, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Kashmiri translation, our full Kashmiri translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Kashmiri is the language of the Kashmir Valley, spoken by around 7 million people across the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistani-administered Azad Kashmir, and small communities in Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. It's traditionally written in Perso-Arabic script (Nastaliq), though Devanagari and Sharada scripts are also used. Our Kashmiri translation work covers civil, academic and personal documents, and because records from the region are often issued in Urdu or English, the source language is confirmed before starting.
Yes. Documents from the Kashmir region often come in Urdu or English, and we work from whatever the true source language is into English, holding name transliterations steady.
Kashmiri appears chiefly in a Perso-Arabic script carrying extra vowel marks, and at times in Devanagari. We settle the script and spelling at the outset so names read the same throughout.
