Experienced Lingala linguists for your event
Planning an event in Lancashire or elsewhere? You have come to the right place.
Creating, producing and running events is not for the faint-hearted and you will need a steadfast and experienced partner by your side.
We have learnt over the years that there can be so many facets to organising a successful event, and that for any event to be successful, you need all the elements to be truly accessible. This might mean ensuring your event is accessible to the Deaf, hard of hearing, blind and partially sighted, but if you are planning an event for a global organisation, then your content will need to be available in the relevant languages. We cover a large range of languages including Lingala so just let us know how we can help.

While you’re here… some quite interesting facts about the Lingala language.
Lingala is a Bantu lanuage spoken mainly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and in the Republic of Congo, and also in Angola and the Central African Republic. There are thought to be 5.5 million native Lingala speakers, and 7 million second language speakers in the DRC. The Lingala of today is based on Bangi (Bobangi), a language that was spoken along the Congo River between Lisala and Kinshasa, and which is still spoken in parts of the DRC and the Republic of Congo. Bangi was the regional trade language until the arrival of the Europeans in the late nineteenth century. After the Europeans arrived, Bangi became the lingua franca for the region and was used in administration and by missionaries. Over time it became simplified, borrowed words from other languages, and started to be used in most domains. This version of the language became known as Lingala. Courtesy of Omniglot
