Otjiherero translations

For Otjiherero translations, I usually work with Edwin.

From 2015 to 2020, Edwin was responsible for the revision of the Otjiherero bible, working with the Bible Society of Namibia. During this time, he also translated a children's bible from English to Otjiherero. Edwin is the coordinator of the Dhimba Literacy Project.

If you require a translation into or out of Otjiherero, or any of the other languages of Namibia, contact me for a free quote. Call +264 81 822 5088, send me an e-mail, or contact me via Facebook.

I was very impressed with the quick response, efficient service and quality of work. We will definitely use Anglo Premier Translations again.

About Otjiherero

The Herero language, or Otjiherero, is spoken by around 200,000 people, mainly in Namibia, but also in parts of Botswana and Angola.

In Namibia, the homeland of the Hereros is in the Omaheke, Otjozondjupa and Khomas regions. Otjiherero is also spoken by the Himba people, who live mainly in the north-western region of Kunene.

Otjiherero does not use the letters f and l, except in loan words, but it has two special characters: ṋ and ṱ.
