About the Tigrinya language.
Tigrinya is one of the main languages of Eritrea and the language of the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia. It is a Semitic language, related to Amharic, and is written in the Ge'ez (Ethiopic) script.
Vocabulary and spelling differ somewhat between Eritrea and Tigray. Tell us where the reader is. Documents from Ethiopia usually use the Ethiopian calendar, which runs roughly seven to eight years behind the Gregorian calendar. Dates are translated faithfully, and we can add the Gregorian equivalent where required.
The Ge'ez script needs fonts that support it. For designed documents, our desktop publishing team handles the typesetting.
Tigrinya to English is usually personal, civil and immigration documents. English to Tigrinya is usually public information and community communication.
Common Tigrinya documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, identity documents and affidavits. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
