Did you know that in Mexico alone, there are 11 language families? Within those language families there are 68 indigenous languages and within those languages 364 different language variants. The difference between variants can be so great, that people speaking a different variant cannot understand each other even though they are speaking the same language!
In this podcast episode, we sit down with Victor Sosa, the Interpreter Services Manager at Natividad Hospital in Salinas, CA, to discuss the challenges around interpreting indigenous languages, and how providers can best work with indigenous-speaking patients in healthcare settings.
