Garifuna is an Arawakan language spoken by around 200,000 people primarily in Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua, and parts of the United States — particularly the Bronx, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and parts of New Orleans. The Garifuna are descendants of West African and Caribbean indigenous Arawak peoples whose ancestors were exiled from St. Vincent to Central America in 1797. Our Garifuna translation work is occasional and typically tied to USCIS family-reunification cases, alongside the cultural and educational translation that accompanies the Garifuna community's strong oral and musical traditions.
