	Armenian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Armenian is an Indo-European language spoken in the Caucasus mountains (particularly in the Armenian Republic) and also used by the Armenian Diaspora.
		Armenian was historically split in to two vaguely-defined primary dialects: Eastern Armenian, the form spoken in modern-day Armenia, and Western Armenian, the form spoken by Armenians in Anatolia.
		Armenian is rich in combinations of consonants, especially in affricative sounds such as j, ch, and ts.

	Grabar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was first written down at the beginning of the 5th century, and all Armenian literature from then through the 18th century is in the Grabar Armenian language.
		Classical Armenian continues to be the liturgical language of the Armenian Apostolic Church and is therefore often learned by Biblical, Intertestamental, and Patristic scholars dedicated to textual studies.
		Classical Armenian is also important for the reconstruction of the Proto-Indo-European language, since it preserves many archaic features.

	Armenian language
		Nowadays it is spoken by the Armenian people in Turkey and the Republic of Armenia, and in Armenian settlements elsewhere in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
		Armenian is known to have replaced the earlier languages of the historical Armenian region by at least the 7th century B.C., and it may have been influenced by the languages it replaced.
		In Western Armenian, some of the distinctions between the relatively soft d and the middle t have disappeared, for instance, whereas in Eastern Armenian the sounds are distinct.

	Classical Armenian Online
		Armenian is the official language of what in recent memory was the smallest republic of the former Soviet Union, now the southernmost republic of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
		A common view is that the Armenians were of Indo-European stock and entered the region either along with the Phrygians from the Balkan region or with the Mitanni from the area of the Aral Sea.
		The Armenian language seems to have undergone several changes between the time of arrival into the transcaucasian region and the invention of the alphabet in the fifth century A.D., but unfortunately documentary evidence for the language during this period is lacking.

	Eddie Arnavoudian / Classical Literature
		The level of initial Armenian resistance and subsequent revolts, in 747-750 and 774-775, determined an effort 'to remove from the scene all the most powerful Armenian noble families and their armed forces.' (p 31) This ambition was reinforced by fears that the Armenian nobility would also 'act as agents for Greek armies' (p38).
		Without the Armenian alphabet that was developed by Mesrop Mashtots in the opening decade of the 5th century it is highly unlikely that Armenians would have survived with their distinct cultural tradition and national identity.
		The Armenian Church needed 'its own voice' with which 'to preach profitably to men and women and to the population as a whole.' (p31) A unique national, Armenian, alphabet was required that 'communicated with precision and completeness the entire phonetic range of the Armenian language' (p33).

	David of Sasun, Dayeakut'iwn, Childrearing, Armenian Cultural Anthropology
		Of the classical Armenian sources, Agat'angeghos and P'awstos Buzand (both of whom described the fourth century) contain one reference each, which might be interpreted as representing younger women as sans (foster-children) of women dayeaks.
		Although fifth century Armenian authors use the term dayeak to mean "wet-nurse," the picture they present of the institution of dayeakut'iwn includes only men: the "adopting" lord is called the dayeak and his ward is a boy from another noble clan.
		The classical Armenian sources, on the other hand, leave no doubt that the protection of a clan's physical existence was of supreme importance in the establishment of dayeak relations.
