About the Somali Language

Canada is home to one of the largest Somali communities outside East Africa, centred on Toronto (particularly Etobicoke), Ottawa, and Edmonton, with further populations in Calgary and Vancouver. Somali has around 17 million native speakers across Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The translation work we do is almost entirely IRCC refugee and asylum paperwork, IRB refugee hearings, family-sponsorship petitions, school enrolment documents, and the healthcare consent forms that come with a young, growing community. Somali is written in the Latin alphabet - a relatively recent standardization, from the early 1970s.

  • Primary regions: Somalia, diaspora
  • Language origin / family: Horn of Africa
  • Estimated speakers: 16 million
