Armenian Language - 071
Interpreting & Translation Linguists Collective
The Armenian language, known as “Hayeren,” is an ancient Indo-European language with a rich history that dates back over two millennia. It is primarily spoken in Armenia, where it serves as the official language, and by the Armenian diaspora scattered across the globe. Armenian has its own distinctive alphabet, created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century AD, and it consists of 39 letters. This unique script has played a significant role in preserving the language and its cultural identity through centuries of historical challenges.
The Armenian language holds a special place in the hearts of its speakers as a symbol of national pride, and it continues to flourish both within Armenia and in Armenian communities worldwide, underpinning a rich literary tradition, folklore, and a deep connection to the nation’s cultural heritage. Armenian is also spoken by smaller communities in several countries, including Russia, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, and the United States, reflecting the global reach and influence of the Armenian diaspora.
