There are around 2,50,000 Fukienese speakers living in America during 1999. Many of them struggle to access healthcare or legal help because of language barriers. Professional interpreters who speak Fukienese can help bridge that gap by facilitating clear communication.

We will provide some background on the Fukienese community here, explain why interpreter services are so valuable for them, and share how companies like LanguageXS meet Fukienese language needs on demand through phone and video interpreting.

A Bit About Fukienese Immigrants in the US

Most Fukienese Americans trace their ancestry back to Fujian Province in southeastern China. People started emigrating from Fujian in large numbers back in the 1800s. Many worked in the tea, silk and sugar industries across Asia – in Taiwan, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and elsewhere.

In recent decades, waves of Fukienese immigrants have come to the United States too. In the 1960s and 1970s, they were mainly less-skilled workers who settled in Chinatowns on the East and West Coasts. More qualified professionals started arriving in the 1980s and 90s through family reunification and work visas.

Nowadays, New York and San Francisco have the biggest Fukienese populations  between the two cities. But you’ll also find large Fukienese communities in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Seattle and other big metro areas.

Why Interpreters Are So Valuable

Fukienese Americans come from all walks of life and educational backgrounds. But many struggle with English and face huge language barriers.

Professional Fukienese interpreters can facilitate communication in many essential situations:

• Healthcare – Understanding doctors’ instructions, making medical decisions, explaining symptoms accurately.
• Legal Matters – Communicating with lawyers, participating in court cases, dealing with law enforcement.
• Community Services – Accessing social assistance, financial help, public housing, education opportunities.
• Personal Affairs – Banking, taxes, religious events, family ceremonies, insurance claims.
• Business – Sales, marketing, HR functions, customer service, staff training.

Without interpreters, Fukienese speakers can’t express critical needs or understand their rights and options. This impedes safety, wellbeing and advancement.
