Local Languages of Mauritania We Support

Mauritania is home to multiple languages, reflecting its ethnic diversity and complex social structure. Our language professionals are native speakers of the major languages used across the country. Here are the key languages we cover:

1. Hassaniya Arabic

Hassaniya Arabic is the most commonly spoken language in Mauritania, used in daily communication, media, politics, and government. It is a dialect of Arabic unique to the country, influenced by Berber and sub-Saharan languages. Our Hassaniya translators and interpreters are native speakers with deep cultural awareness, ensuring that translations capture the intended tone, nuance, and regional expressions. Whether you’re organizing a press conference in Nouakchott or translating a health awareness campaign, we provide accurate Hassaniya Arabic language services.

2. Pulaar (Fula or Fulfulde)

Pulaar is widely spoken in the southern regions of Mauritania and within communities in Nouakchott. It is the language of the Fulani people, one of the major ethnic groups in the country. Our Pulaar language professionals deliver translations, simultaneous interpreting, and transcriptions for community outreach, education programs, and religious events. In Nouakchott, we frequently assist NGOs and public health institutions working with Pulaar-speaking populations.

3. Soninke (Sooninke)

Soninke is another important language in Mauritania, especially among migrant and riverine communities. It’s spoken in areas near the Senegal River and within urban centers like Nouakchott. We support Soninke language needs for documentation, education, and legal interpretation. Our clients in Nouakchott benefit from our fast turnaround and culturally sensitive service delivery.

4. Wolof

Though spoken by a smaller population, Wolof is used in urban and southern Mauritania, particularly in Nouakchott. We offer translation, transcription, and interpreting in Wolof, assisting organizations with outreach, education, and media production targeting Wolof-speaking communities.

5. French

French is widely used in administration, education, legal systems, and international communication in Mauritania. Almost every organization operating in Nouakchott requires translation between French and other local languages. We provide certified translations of legal, technical, financial, and academic documents between French and Arabic, Pulaar, Soninke, Wolof, and English.
