Our History
Languages Africa is a Language Services Provider (LSP) that was founded by Mpasua Msonobari in 1999. At the time of its founding, it was known as Kampamso Language Centre. Back then, it focused mostly on Swahili tutoring and translation. Within three years, it had changed its name to Language Africa and drastically increased its language solutions services.
Language Africa seeks to ensure that the world listens to Africa by understanding the nuances, cultures, engagements and practices of the different beautiful African languages.
Languages Africa EXCLUSIVELY deals with African Languages. Yes, African Languages ONLY!
Who We Are
We are one of the leading African Language Services Providers (LSP) for African languages. Hundreds of languages are spoken across Africa’s 54 countries. These languages are clustered into several language groups including Bantu, Nilotic and Cushitic. Some of them, like Swahili and Yoruba, are crossborder. Swahili is the most widely spoken and is the only native African language that is an official language for the African Union.
As its very name suggests, Languages Africa exists to provide African Language solutions. Towards this end, our staff is drawn from several African countries. They include interpreters, translators, transcribers and teachers. Thanks to this depth and breadth of our human resources, we can deliver a wide portfolio of services and languages to our esteemed clients.
Although there are over 18,000 LSPs in the world, only a handful focus exclusively on African Languages. We are honoured to be at the very top of this handful.
