About the Armenian Language
Armenian (Հայերեն / Hayeren) is an Indo-European language with its own distinct branch and unique alphabet created by Mesrop Mashtots in 405 CE. With a history spanning over 1,600 years of written literature, Armenian stands as one of the oldest continuously used languages in the world.
Today, approximately 6-7 million people worldwide speak Armenian, with large communities in Armenia, Russia, Iran, the United States, France, Lebanon, and across the global Armenian diaspora. The language exists in two standardized forms: Eastern Armenian (the official language of Armenia) and Western Armenian (spoken primarily in diaspora communities).

Armenian Language Features
Understanding the linguistic characteristics that make Armenian unique informs our translation approach.
Eastern vs Western Armenian
The two standard forms of modern Armenian—Eastern (spoken in Armenia, Russia, and Iran) and Western (spoken in diaspora communities)—differ in pronunciation, vocabulary, and some grammatical features. While they share the same writing system and are largely mutually intelligible, content targeted to specific communities requires awareness of these distinctions.
Our translators are proficient in both variants and can tailor translations according to your target audience's specific dialectal preferences, ensuring that your message resonates appropriately.
Unique Alphabet & Script
The Armenian alphabet consists of 38 letters and has been in continuous use since its creation in the early 5th century. This unique writing system presents specific typographical and layout considerations for translated materials, especially in digital environments.
Our translation process includes careful attention to proper rendering of Armenian script across all media formats, ensuring that the text displays correctly and maintains its integrity regardless of the platform.
Grammar & Syntax
Armenian's rich grammatical system includes seven noun cases, distinctive verb conjugation patterns, and syntax that differs significantly from English. The language does not have grammatical gender but features a complex system of affixes and articles that convey specific meaning nuances.
Our translators navigate these linguistic complexities to produce translations that preserve the intended meaning while adhering to natural Armenian language patterns, avoiding the awkwardness of literal translations.
Cultural Context & Terminology
Armenian vocabulary reflects the language's ancient heritage and the complex history of the Armenian people, with terminology layers influenced by various neighboring cultures while maintaining its distinct Indo-European roots. Modern Armenian continues to evolve, particularly in technical fields.
Our translation approach acknowledges both traditional terminology and contemporary language developments, ensuring accurate rendition of specialized terms while respecting Armenian linguistic traditions.
