Verified AB is one of the largest companies in Europe to provide language analysis. Our clients are primarily authorities concerned with asylum matters. The analyses support the authorities in determining the background of asylum seekers. In each case, a language analyst with a specific linguistic and areal competence is involved. The analysts work together with Verified’s linguists.
To work as a language analyst for the Saho language, you should:
- speak Saho (and Arabic) as spoken in Eritrea
- have in-depth knowledge of the area where this language is spoken (born and raised/long-term residence) and be well acquainted with the social, cultural and political situation there
- be familiar with dialectal variation in Saho language and Eritrean Arabic and its relationship to neighbouring languages
- be able to express yourself clearly and correctly in English (or Swedish)
- have good computer skills
We value punctuality, orderliness and dependability.
There are presently only a few requests per year for analysis of Saho/ Eritrean Arabic and work will be assigned on a case-by-case basis. This job is suitable as a sideline for a language enthusiast.
Please note that residents of other countries than Sweden need to be able to issue a fiscally valid invoice.
