Testimonials

Mam language experts & cultural ambassadors

Jeenie interpreters are more than linguists, they help others to navigate cultural differences and understand unique tonal and visual cues that non-native speakers often miss. They’re communication experts.

About the Mam language

The Mam language, part of the Mayan language family, is spoken by around a million people primarily in Guatemala’s Western Highlands and parts of Chiapas, Mexico. With roots tracing back over a thousand years, Mam is a direct descendant of the ancient Mayan civilization’s linguistic traditions. 

The language’s complexity is reflected in its unique syntax and tonal quality, which enables speakers to convey nuanced meaning through subtle variations in pronunciation. Despite centuries of colonization and cultural upheaval, Mam has preserved much of its original structure and vocabulary, making it a critical link to understanding ancient Mayan cultures.

Interesting Facts about Mam Culture

Mam culture is a vibrant tapestry of history, spirituality, and communal values. The Mam people are known for their intricate weaving traditions, producing colorful textiles that carry deep cultural significance.

One word that encapsulates Mam identity is k’ut, which refers to the sense of solidarity and collective responsibility that underpins their social fabric.

The community recently marked a significant milestone with the inauguration of the first Mam-language radio station in 2023, a vital step in preserving the language and culture for future generations. The ongoing efforts to revitalize Mam reflect an enduring resilience and commitment to cultural continuity in the face of modern challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Across the industry, Karen interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details. 

Note: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why?
Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions. 

We get this question a lot.

Mam interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Mam into English and English into Mam). Interpreters also serve as communication and are experts at culture nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other. 

Mam translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language. 

Jeenie attracts the best interpreters in the world. Truly. We constantly hear from clients that they have NEVER had such amazing interpreters on other services. That skill saves our clients time and minimizes their risk of costly miscommunications. Here’s how we excel at quality:

We treat interpreters well.
Jeenie offers linguists great compensation (often the best in the industry), work-life flexibility, ongoing learning to improve their craft, and our heart-felt respect. For this and many other reasons, the best interpreters want to be on the Jeenie platform. 

We have extremely high standards.
Unlike most of our competitors who outsource huge chunks of their interpreting needs, Jeenie has created a vetted network of global talent who are active within our platform. This gives us direct oversight on quality and skills assessment. Jeenie interpreters must pass our rigorous skills evaluations, have several years of experience, maintain 4.0 average client rating, and pass ongoing quality tests.
