PanARMENIAN.Net - A report released by Language Line Services, the
global leader in interpretation and translation services, shows that
while Spanish remains the most popular language nationwide behind
English, demand for Arabic and Vietnamese grew strong across 20 major
U.S. cities between Q2 2010 and Q2 2011, according to PRNewswire.
The report, titled the Language LineŽ LanguageTrak "Interpreter Demand
Index(SM)" (IDI), uses proprietary data to rank the top 10 languages
in each city by number of over-the-phone interpreter requests in
the government and healthcare sectors. The LanguageTrak IDI(SM) also
shows percentage growth in each language between Q2 2010 and Q2 2011.
Interpreter requests in Arabic are rapidly growing, however, with
increases in 13 of the 20 cities. The highest increases are in Houston
(45.8 percent), San Antonio (39.7 percent) and Philadelphia (37.4
percent). Arabic also is among the top-five most requested languages
in 11 of the 20 cities.
Requests for Vietnamese also increased in 13 of the 20 cities. The
highest increases are in New York City (66.2 percent), Houston
(45.9 percent) and Dallas (25.5 percent). Vietnamese is also among
the top-five most requested languages in 14 of the 20 cities.
In addition to the report signaling Arabic and Vietnamese as rapidly
emerging languages, Provenzano pointed to other surprising findings:
Armenian was the third-most requested language in Los Angeles, where
Armenian interpreter requests increased 13.7 percent.
Chicago saw interpreter requests increase in Gujarati (146.2 percent)
and Russian (38.5 percent). San Antonio saw major surges in requests
for Cantonese (423 percent) and Spanish (141.3 percent). Cantonese
was its fourth-most requested language.
