"Our interpreter was wonderful; she assisted with calling multiple Taishanese-speaking patients. She was so kind and made sure our patient understood and were able to communicate back."

"Marcia was absolutely wonderful and professional. Not only did she help the patient, she helped me understand the order of the patients name to correct it in the system. Probably one of the best interpreters I’ve ever had!"

Taishanese is a Yue Chinese language spoken by millions worldwide, primarily in Taishan, Guangdong Province, China, and by Chinese diaspora communities in the U.S., Canada, and Southeast Asia. It is closely related to Cantonese but has distinct pronunciation, tones, and vocabulary, making it difficult for Cantonese and Mandarin speakers to fully understand. Historically, many early Chinese immigrants to North America spoke Taishanese, making it an essential language for Chinese communities abroad.

Because Taishanese has few standardized written forms, communication relies heavily on spoken language and cultural context. Many speakers, especially older generations, may not be fluent in Mandarin or English, making Jeenie’s professional Taishanese interpreters crucial for accurate and culturally sensitive communication in healthcare, legal matters, business, and community services.

Taishanese culture is deeply rooted in family values, ancestral traditions, and resilience. Many Taishanese people have strong ties to overseas Chinese communities, as generations of immigrants built businesses and communities in North America, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Traditional festivals such as Lunar New Year and the Qingming Festival (Tomb-Sweeping Day) are widely celebrated, emphasizing respect for ancestors and family unity.

Respect, politeness, and indirect communication are essential in Taishanese social interactions. Gestures, tone, and hierarchy play a significant role in conversations, especially when addressing elders. Understanding Taishanese customs, greetings, and etiquette can greatly enhance relationships in both personal and professional settings. With Jeenie’s expert Taishanese interpreters, you get more than just translation—you get cultural expertise, ensuring smooth and meaningful communication in any situation.

How much does Taishanese interpreting cost?

Across the industry, Taishanese 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.

Are Taishanese translators and Taishanese interpreters the same thing?

We get this question a lot.

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

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

How are Taishanese interpreters on Jeenie different from other services?

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.
