Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of Eritrean records for Tigre speakers, in Ge'ez script, Arabic or Tigrinya as the document requires, and Tigre interpreters for USCIS interviews, court hearings and medical appointments in Las Vegas and across the United States.
Tigre to English Translation Services in Las Vegas
Certified Tigre to English translation at Prism goes to a qualified Tigre translator who reads Ge'ez and Arabic script, while the Tigrinya certificate in the same file goes to a Tigrinya translator, and each document is delivered with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Tigre is not Tigrinya, and the paperwork is usually in neither. Tigre is spoken by about a million people in western and northern Eritrea and neighbouring Sudan; it shares the Ge'ez script with Tigrinya but only about 64 percent of its vocabulary, and Muslim Tigre communities have also written it in Arabic script. Eritrean municipalities issue birth certificates in Tigrinya or English, and a first certificate is built from hospital records, a baptismal certificate and witness statements notarised by the zonal court, or from a court declaration with three witnesses. So a Tigre speaker's file is Tigrinya and English, often assembled late, which is why we treat Tigre and Tigrinya as separate assignments.
Where a document is in Tigre, such as a family letter or a statement written in Ge'ez or Arabic script, we translate it and say which script it uses. Names are matched to the passport, with variants noted.
Every certified Tigre translation is a complete, word-for-word rendering with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared to meet USCIS requirements. It is done from a clear scan, so a client in Las Vegas gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Las Vegas is the seat of Clark County. Felony trials and larger civil actions go to the Eighth Judicial District Court. Las Vegas Justice Court holds felony and gross misdemeanor arraignments and preliminary hearings and tries non-traffic misdemeanors and smaller civil claims, while the Las Vegas Municipal Court handles misdemeanors and traffic offenses arising inside the city limits.
The Clark County School District issues parent materials in English, Spanish, Tagalog, Amharic, traditional and simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Korean and Russian, and also uses Dari, French, Japanese, Kinyarwanda and Persian; its newcomer students speak 46 languages. Tagalog is Nevada's third most spoken language, and Amharic and Thai speakers are well established. University Medical Center, the state's only Level I trauma center, adds demand. Prism Linguistics works from one New York office and assigns a linguist near Las Vegas for in-person work; courts come to us for the rare languages other providers cannot supply.
Certified Tigre Translation in Las Vegas
Certified Tigre translation in Las Vegas usually turns out to be a Tigrinya or English municipal certificate with one item genuinely in Tigre: a letter from a relative in Nakfa or Agordat, a statement an elder wrote in Arabic script. The Tigre translator takes that item and a Tigrinya translator the rest, and each document returns with its own signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Tigre Translation for USCIS in Las Vegas
Tigre translation for USCIS in Las Vegas is asylum and refugee follow-on: an I-589 declaration dictated in Tigre, an I-730 for a spouse left in Shagarab, a zonal court declaration with three witnesses that stands in for a birth certificate. We keep the Tigre declaration aligned with its English, and where an Eritrean and a Sudanese document spell the applicant's name differently we show both.
Tigre Court Document Translation in Las Vegas
Tigre court document translation in Las Vegas is mostly evidence: a voice message from Eritrea produced in an asylum appeal, a Sudanese Arabic court paper from a camp marriage, a recorded statement about national service. The Tigre translator transcribes first, marks every switch into Arabic or Tigrinya, and signs a translator's affidavit for the filing.
Tigre Interpreters in Las Vegas
Our Tigre interpreters in Las Vegas are experienced, professional linguists who work in asylum offices, immigration courts, hospitals and law firms, and who are booked for Tigre, not Tigrinya, after asking whether the speaker would rather use Arabic.
Do not send a Tigrinya interpreter to a Tigre speaker. The two languages are related, not interchangeable, and a Tigrinya interpreter who nods through a Tigre account is guessing. Many Tigre speakers also speak Arabic, and those who passed through the Shagarab camps in eastern Sudan, where UNHCR reported around 1,000 new Eritrean arrivals a month in 2019, often prefer Arabic for official settings; we ask rather than assume. In Keren, Tigre and Bilen speakers together make up over 80 percent of the population, so a speaker from there may hold either language. No state runs a court certification exam in Tigre, so courts use a qualified Tigre interpreter, usually by phone or video; this is the kind of rare language courts come to us for. Federally funded hospitals must provide one at no cost. At USCIS the interpreter renders each answer as given.
For an in-person assignment in Las Vegas we assign a Tigre interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. We serve courts, attorneys, hospitals, USCIS applicants and private individuals; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor, and we say so up front.

About the Tigre Language
Tigre is a Semitic language spoken by around 1.5 million people in northern Eritrea and adjacent parts of Sudan. It's closely related to Tigrinya and Ge'ez but distinct. The US Tigre-speaking community is small, concentrated alongside the broader Eritrean-American population. Our Tigre translation work is occasional and typically tied to USCIS asylum and refugee documentation.

Tigre Translation in Las Vegas: FAQs
Is a Tigrinya translation the same as a Tigre translation?
No. Tigre and Tigrinya are different languages that share the Ge'ez script. Most Eritrean certificates are in Tigrinya or English and we translate those; a document actually written in Tigre, in Ge'ez or Arabic script, goes to a Tigre translator. Both come with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Can you provide a Tigre interpreter for an asylum interview?
Yes, usually by phone or video, because in-person Tigre interpreters are scarce in the United States. We confirm first which the speaker prefers, Tigre or Arabic. No state certifies court interpreters in Tigre; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor.
Do you have an office in Las Vegas?
No. Our only office is in New York. Tigre translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Las Vegas we assign a Tigre interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
