Anuak is spoken by approximately 200,000 people indigenous to the Gambella region of western Ethiopia and a small area of South Sudan, making it one of the smaller and more specialized language communities served by professional interpreters in the US. In the United States, Anuak speakers are most concentrated in Minneapolis and St. Paul, which host the largest Anuak diaspora community in the world outside of Africa following refugee resettlement programs in the early 2000s. As an extremely low-resource language with very few certified interpreters nationwide, access to a qualified Anuak interpreter in healthcare, legal, and resettlement settings is both critical and difficult to secure without a specialist agency.
Cesco provides qualified and background-checked Anuak interpreters for On-site, Over-the-Phone (OPI), and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI), available for last-minute and scheduled requests nationally and internationally.
