KOBIAN LANGUAGES

OBJECTIVE
To provide a high degree of enlightenment and cross cultural
interrelationships, by making the writings and languages of a people
accessible to other peoples of the planet, thus creating a better world
ruled by understanding and respect for the values and norms of different
peoples of the world.

FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY
Kobian Languages is a robust and diverse linguistic organization
composed of staff who are well trained in the English language, and are
well versed in the various ethnic languages which they handle, of which
they also have an indigenous advantage, as each person is skilled in the
translation of his/her mother tongue making it easier and more possible
to get a natural translation. Each language specialist is also trained in the
specific art of translation.

The firm has a staff strength of five (5), as well as access to steady, well
tested specialized freelance translators in the event of really large jobs
too great for in-house staff to handle.

Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and English are the languages the firm handles,
Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba being the local indigenous languages, and
English the more or less universal language. Translations in between any
two of the languages can be handled.

An important aspect of language dealings is the issue of dialects. In most

if not all indigenous African languages, dialects abound. Kobian staff are
well equipped to handle the variations that come with dialects.

Below is an overview of translation capabilities of Kobian languages.
