Nepali Court Interpreting Service In Kent

Qualified and experienced Nepali court interpreters

The Crown Prosecution Service states on their website: “The right to an interpreter is an integral part of the right to a fair trial. It is a principle of English common law that the Defendant must be able to understand the charges made against them and be able to properly defend themselves. The right is also enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights.”

Our court interpreters will help those individuals who do not understand or speak English well, to communicate in English and understand the proceedings within a legal environment. They are bound by confidentiality and will provide interpretations of what has been said of such a quality as to safeguard the fairness of the proceedings.

This sort of interpreting support can be delivered in person at courts within and/or via video link. How the service is delivered depends on the requirements of the court and appropriate availability at the time of booking. Just let us know what you need, and we’ll do the rest!

While you’re here… some quite interesting facts about the Nepali language

Nepali is a member of the Eastern Pahari branch of the Indo-Aryan language family spoken mainly in Nepal and northern India by about 25 million people. Historically, Nepali was called Khas Kura (खस कुरा, khasa kurā), spoken by the Khas people of Karnali, and Gorkhali (गोरखाली, gorakhālī), the language of the Gorkha Kingdom, before the term Nepali (नेपाली, nepālī) was adopted. The origin of the modern Nepali language is believed to be from Sinja Valley in Jumla. The Nepali dialect Khas Bhasa (खस भाषा, khasa bhāṣā) is still spoken among the people of the region.
