Spanish is the most commonly requested language for the region, and AMS also coordinates indigenous Mesoamerican languages such as Mixteco, Triqui, Zapoteco, and Mam, frequently on a relay basis, since these are distinct languages rather than Spanish dialects. We additionally cover Tagalog, Chinese, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Arabic, and American Sign Language, among others. Because some interpreter pools are small, advance notice is helpful.
