Wishing everyone a well-deserved day of rest and celebration!

**🌍 AKULA at the Embassy of South Sudan — Rabat, Morocco**

We were thankful for the chance to stop by the Embassy of the Republic of South Sudan in Rabat and discuss a subject we care deeply about: the strength of language services.

The discussion revolved around two main ideas:

🗣️ **Advocating for language access** — so communities can be listened to and understood, regardless of the language they use.

🌱 **Prospects for immigrant youth** — language services are not only a necessity, but also a career route. Young multilingual people contribute essential abilities, and we are dedicated to creating opportunities for them in this sector.

Representing AKULA was a privilege, and so was helping further the connections among communities, governments, and the interpreters who enable understanding.

**Empowering People by Giving Them a Voice.** 🧡

🎉 Strong for 6 Years 🎉

AKULA began six years ago because we knew, from direct experience, a simple truth: if you cannot speak the language, you do not merely miss words — you miss access. Access to justice. Access to healthcare. Access to being believed.

We created AKULA with and for the people who understand what it means to move through a system that was never designed with them in mind. That purpose continues today through our interpreter network, which brings 200+ languages — including many that are rare and many that are ignored elsewhere — into courtrooms, clinics, and classrooms nationwide.

Our work is not limited to translating language. We carry narratives, dignity, and the right to be understood.

To every interpreter who has appeared for someone at their most exposed moment — this celebration belongs to you as well. Cheers to 6 years, and to everyone who is still searching for the words.

Did you know that approximately 100-200 million people speak Swahili worldwide? That Swahili is among the 10 most widely spoken languages in the world? That Swahili is the first African language to be honored by the United Nations with its own international day — July 7, World Kiswahili Language Day?

Swahili (Kiswahili) is a Bantu language spoken primarily in East Africa: Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Somalia, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Comoros. But Swahili also spreads globally — spoken in diaspora communities across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.

Swahili has a remarkable origin story. It emerged on the East African coast around the 10th century, when Bantu-speaking peoples from the Great Lakes region migrated to the coast and encountered Arab and Persian traders. The language became a blend: 40% of Swahili vocabulary comes from Arabic. But Swahili also absorbed Persian, Portuguese, English, Hindustani, and Malay words. Swahili is a language of trade, conquest, and cultural mixing.

Today, Swahili serves as a lingua franca — a common language connecting diverse ethnic groups across East Africa. It is the official language of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is one of the official languages of the African Union.

But many Swahili speakers face language access barriers. In diaspora communities, Swahili-speaking refugees and immigrants navigate healthcare, education, and legal systems designed for English speakers. In East Africa, while Swahili is widespread, marginalized minority languages struggle for recognition.

At AKULA Interpreting and Translation LLC, we provide professional Swahili interpretation and translation services. Because 100+ million speakers deserve to be understood.

Have you ever heard of the Acehnese language?
Acehnese — known in its own language as Bahsa Acèh — is the proud language of the Acehnese people of Aceh Province — located at the very northern tip of the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.
Spoken by over 3 million people — Acehnese is a language of extraordinary history, deep Islamic heritage, and one of the most remarkable stories of resilience in all of Southeast Asia.
The Acehnese people are known throughout history as fierce defenders of their culture, their faith, and their identity — earning Aceh the proud title of the "Veranda of Mecca" — the gateway of Islam to Southeast Asia.
At AKULA Interpreting and Translation LLC, we understand that Acehnese isn't just a language — it is a legacy of courage, faith, and extraordinary cultural pride.
That's why we provide professional Acehnese interpreting and translation services that go far beyond words — we carry the heart and soul of the Acehnese community into every conversation.

Have you ever heard of Albanian?

Albanian — called "Shqip" by its speakers — is one of the most mysterious and ancient languages in all of Europe. Spoken by around 7–8 million people across Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and communities throughout the world, it stands utterly alone on the Indo-European family tree.

That's right. Albanian is a language isolate within Indo-European — meaning it has no close relatives. While most European languages cluster into groups (Romance, Germanic, Slavic), Albanian sits by itself, the sole surviving member of its own branch. Linguists believe it descends from the ancient Illyrian or Thracian languages spoken in the Balkans thousands of years before the Roman Empire — though the exact origins remain one of the great unsolved puzzles of historical linguistics.

What makes Albanian even more fascinating is how little of it was written down until surprisingly recently. The oldest surviving written text in Albanian dates only to 1462 — a single baptismal formula. Yet the language itself is ancient, shaped by Greek, Latin, Slavic, and Ottoman Turkish influences over millennia, while somehow keeping its unique core intact.

A language that survived empires, conquests, and centuries of silence. Shqip endures.

In Dinka culture, there is a concept called "Cieng" — a deep sense of dignity, grace, and the right way of being in the world.

Dinka are known for their extraordinary physical presence — often among the tallest people on Earth — and for a cultural sophistication and dignity that shapes how they move through the world. But more profound than physical stature is the spiritual and ethical dimension of Dinka identity — rooted in pastoral life, in the knowledge of cattle, in the bonds of family and community, and in a connection to the land that runs thousands of years deep.

At AKULA Interpreting and Translation LLC, we honour that dignity and depth. When we serve a Dinka speaker, we are serving a person whose culture has survived extraordinary hardship — and we recognise the strength and resilience that carries.

Have you ever heard of the Chuukese language?
Chuukese — also known as Trukese — is the language of the Chuukese people of the Federated States of Micronesia — spoken by over 45,000 people across the stunning islands of Chuuk Lagoon and Chuukese communities around the world.
Chuuk Lagoon — one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on Earth — is also one of the world's most famous scuba diving destinations — home to dozens of sunken World War II Japanese warships now covered in coral and marine life.
But beyond its stunning natural beauty — Chuuk is home to a people of extraordinary resilience, deep cultural pride, and a language that carries centuries of Pacific Island wisdom and tradition.
At AKULA Interpreting and Translation LLC, we understand that Chuukese isn't just a language — it is an island soul.
That's why we provide professional Chuukese interpreting and translation services that go far beyond words — we carry the heart and spirit of the Chuukese community into every conversation.
