Abakar Youssouf Mahamat

Independent interpreter in rare African languages (Gorane, Kanembou, Kanuri) and dialectal Arabic languages (Chad, Sudan, Maghreb, Orient). I have been in this field for over 8 years, providing oral and written translation for associations and CADA working with refugees.

Passionate about languages since always, I discovered this profession with the border police and became attached to it, making it a favorite field. Originally from Chad, a country at the crossroads between Black Africa and the Arab world, I speak the rare languages of the Chadian desert, namely GORANE and KANEMBU, as well as the dialectal Arabic of Chad and Sudan.

Having studied in Algeria, I am fluent in Maghrebi Darija and Eastern dialects (Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, etc.).
