Armenian Information

Armenian is an Indo-European language spoken in the Republic of Armenia and also in other locations such as the republics of former Soviet Union, The Balkans, Middle East, and the United States of America.

Armenian Language Facts

There are two languages, Eastern and Western Armenian:

Eastern Armenian is the official language and the only language used in-country.

Western Armenian applies to diaspora Armenian communities in North and South America, Europe and the Middle East (with the exception of Iran). There are differences in pronunciation, grammar, orthography, and vocabulary. It was developed in the early part of the 19th century, and is based on the Armenian dialect of Istanbul.

Western Armenian has six nominal cases: Nominative (subject), Accusative (direct object), Genitive (possession), Dative (indirect object), Ablative (origin) and Instrumental (means). Like in Eastern Armenian, nouns in Western Armenian decline for number (singular and plural), but do not decline for gender (i.e. masculine or feminine).

Armenian was originally split into two primary dialects: Eastern Armenian, the actual spoken form in current Armenia, and Western Armenian, the form spoken by Armenians in Anatolia. After the Armenian Genocide, the western form was spoken mainly by the diaspora group.

Writing Armenian

Modern Armenian dates back to the 16th century and is used both in formal written texts, as well as in everyday conversation. The first records of written Armenian date from early 5th century AD, but this type of Armenian, which differed from the spoken one, has more of an archaic or classical style, and is used primarily by the Armenian Church.

Armenian is written in the Armenian Alphabet, shown below. It is based on the Greek alphabet, with some additional letters from different sources to represent sounds that do not occur in Greek. One interesting characteristic of this alphabet is that most of the letters have numerical values.
