Spanish varieties and dialects we handle
Mexican Spanish
The largest variety in California legal and medical work. Includes regional sub-varieties from northern Mexico (Chihuahua, Sonora), central Mexico (Mexico City, Guadalajara), and southern Mexico (Oaxaca, Chiapas). For applicants from southern Mexico, ask about indigenous-language first speakers.
Cuban and Caribbean Spanish
Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican Spanish share Caribbean phonology and lexicon. The Willie Ramirez case (a Cuban-Spanish "intoxicado" misrendered as "intoxicated") is the canonical example of where Caribbean-variety knowledge matters in medical interpreting.
Central American Spanish
Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Honduran, and Nicaraguan Spanish with distinct vocabulary and politeness conventions. Important for asylum-related work and a large share of LA-basin demographic.
South American Spanish
Argentine, Chilean, Colombian, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, and Venezuelan Spanish. The Colombian and Venezuelan populations have grown significantly in LA and Las Vegas in recent years.
