Prism Linguistics provides Vasekela Bushman interpreters by phone or video and certified English translation of the Portuguese records and sworn statements that !Kung families from Namibia and Angola hold, for USCIS, court and medical needs in Rochester and across the United States.
Vasekela Bushman Interpreters in Rochester
Our Vasekela Bushman interpreters in Rochester are qualified, professional linguists who work with courts, hospitals and USCIS by phone or video, and a Vasekela Bushman interpreter is assigned only once we know whether the family speaks the northern or the southern Ju variety.
Northern or southern Ju? It decides the assignment. Vasekela Bushman belongs to the northern end of the !Kung dialect continuum; Ju|'hoan sits at the southeastern end in eastern Namibia and Botswana, and the two are not interchangeable, so we ask where the family comes from. Vasekela Bushman uses click consonants that English and Portuguese have no way to write, so a name reaches a passport only after a clerk has guessed at it; we match the passport and note the spoken form. Recent estimates put Vasekela Bushman speakers at around 20,000, and a Vasekela Bushman interpreter in the United States is found by phone or video, if at all; we say honestly what we can staff. No state runs a court certification exam in Vasekela Bushman, so courts use a qualified Vasekela Bushman interpreter, and this is the kind of rare language courts come to us for. Hospitals that take federal funds must provide a Vasekela Bushman interpreter at no cost. At USCIS the Vasekela Bushman interpreter renders each answer as given.
For an in-person assignment in Rochester we assign a Vasekela Bushman 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.

Rochester is the seat of Monroe County, in New York's Seventh Judicial District. Felonies, matrimonial matters and larger civil claims go to the Supreme and County Courts for Monroe County, while offenses and smaller disputes arising inside the city go to Rochester City Court. Prism Linguistics works from one head office, in New York, and assigns a linguist based near Rochester for in-person work.
Under New York's Part 154 rules the Rochester City School District must communicate with English learner families in the home language they best understand, and it posts family forms in Arabic, Burmese, Karen, Nepali, Somali and Spanish, reflecting large Bhutanese and Nepalese communities. Rochester also has the largest per capita deaf population in the country, anchored by the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology, so American Sign Language work is constant. Courts and attorneys come to Prism for rare languages such as Karen that other providers cannot supply.

Vasekela Bushman to English Translation Services in Rochester
Certified Vasekela Bushman translation at Prism covers the affidavit or oral account given in the language, taken down through an interpreter and delivered with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy naming the language spoken; the Portuguese civil record goes to a Portuguese translator and comes back certified the same way.
A Vasekela Bushman speaker holds no document in the language. Vasekela Bushman is the Angolan name for the northern !Kung language, called Sekele or !Xun by linguists; its people lived in southern Angola until the civil war and now live mainly in northern Namibia, around Ekoka and the Kavango. A birth in Namibia is certified in English by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security, English being Namibia's only official language since 1990; a birth in Angola is recorded in Portuguese by a Conservatória do Registo Civil, and a late registration there needs two witnesses and a sworn declaration from a traditional or church authority. Some Vasekela Bushman speakers were never registered at all, so the file is an affidavit or an account given in the language. We translate the Portuguese record, take the statement through a Vasekela Bushman interpreter, and attach a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy naming the language spoken.
Every certified Vasekela Bushman 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 Rochester gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

About the Vasekela Bushman Language
Vasekela (Sekele) is a Khoisan language of the !Kung dialect continuum, spoken by a small population in northern Namibia and historically in southern Angola before the Angolan Civil War. Like many Khoisan languages it features click consonants. Our Vasekela translation work is essentially non-existent in normal operations.
Vasekela Bushman Interpreting in Rochester: FAQs
My Namibian birth certificate is in English and my parents' Angolan papers are in Portuguese. What needs translating?
The Portuguese records need a certified Portuguese to English translation, which we provide with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy; the English Namibian certificate needs none. A Vasekela Bushman translator is needed only for a statement or oral account given in the language itself.
Is a Ju|'hoan interpreter acceptable for a Vasekela Bushman speaker?
Not automatically. Vasekela Bushman is the northern !Kung variety from Angola and northern Namibia, while Ju|'hoan is the southeastern one from eastern Namibia and Botswana. We ask where the family comes from and tell you what we can staff, usually by phone or video. No state certifies court interpreters in Vasekela Bushman. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor.
Do you have an office in Rochester?
No. Our only office is in New York. Vasekela Bushman translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Rochester we assign a Vasekela Bushman interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
