About the Kimbundu language.
Kimbundu is spoken in north-central Angola, around the capital, Luanda, and in Bengo, Cuanza Norte and Malanje provinces. It is the language of the Ambundu people and Angola's second most widely spoken Bantu language. It is written in the Latin alphabet.
Kimbundu has given Angolan Portuguese many everyday words. It is not the same as Umbundu, the language of the central highlands, which has its own page, so we check which language a document is in before quoting.
Angola's official documents are issued in Portuguese, which we also translate. Kimbundu work is usually community and cultural material, church texts, personal letters and statements, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Kimbundu letters and affidavits into English or Portuguese. For Angolan certificates in Portuguese, see our European Portuguese page. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
