About the Sena language.
Sena (Chisena) is spoken in central Mozambique, along the lower Zambezi in Sofala, Tete, Manica and Zambezia provinces, including the Beira area, and in southern Malawi. It is one of Mozambique's larger national languages. It is a Bantu language written in the Latin alphabet.
Sena is related to Chichewa and Nyungwe but is a separate language with its own spelling. We use a Sena translator for Sena readers and agree key terms at the start of longer projects.
Mozambique's official documents are issued in Portuguese, which we also translate. Sena work is usually community and health information, humanitarian material, personal letters and statements, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Sena letters and statements into English or Portuguese. For Mozambican 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.
