I have the greatest respect for the Armenian people, and have found them to be some of the nicest that I've ever met. Thank you for this interesting presentation on their unique alphabet!
Armenians were forced to march to Deir Eizzor during the 1915 genocide and as a result there are still important Armenian communities in Syria because of the survivors as well. Some Kurdish families raised Armenian children so some of the Armenian communities are speaking Kurdish too.
Very interesting video! Perfectly documented, good music, images and transitions. You're a true polyglot not only because you can speak so many languages, but also because you're into branches of languages, history, alphabets and far beyond. You deserve many MANY more subscribers and they will come with time. Keep the nice work, you're awesome!!!
Thank you for this! My fiancé is Armenian, and I’ve been immersing myself in the culture and trying to learn the language as much as possible. This history lesson has really helped!
One of the most interesting Armenian communities are the Armenians of Nakhichevan-on-Don , which is in southern Russia (now merged with Rostov-on-Don ). They founded the city in 1779 after leaving Crimea, and before that had settled in Crimea almost 1000 years ago. So they're an Armenian community that haven't lived in Armenia in 1000 years, but speak their own dialect of the Armenian language.
@Gev G That's very interesting! In what ways are the Nakhichevan-on-Don Armenians different from other Armenians? Is it just me or are Don Armenians usually richer and more successful?
They used to live in the capital of Ani before migrating to Crimea and their ancestors used to be the nobles of the capital city. They are famous for their crafts and overall they’re quite talented. I guess it’s because of the concentration of the intellectual people in Ani.

Mikayel! Hey you👊. Pay attention your words😈. Karabagh is historical AZERBAIJANIAN land. Even " area of your country"- "Armenia" is not your land. Armenia is Westhern Azerbaijan. And Yerevan is not Yerevan, its name is İrəvan. When you came this areas you were change name of areas. You came these lands with through Russian. But today flag of Azerbaijan is wave in Shusha, Cəbrayıl, Qubadlı, Zəngilan, Hadrut. Karabagh is Azerbaijan. Army of Azerbaijan has proof it. But men of your country didn't want fight in army. Women , children, teens, the old were fough in army of Armenia I HATE ARMENIA AND ARMENIAN PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY NIKOL PASHINYAN I LOVE AZERBAIJAN AND I ALWAYS SUPPORT AZERBAIJAN
@Lucy Hovhannisyan is Artsakh Armenia? Do you believe your lies? No Artsakh, Karabagh. Karabagh is Azerbaijan. Karabagh always is be part of Azerbaijan. And nobody can change that. Please, look map of Azerbaijan. If you look map of Azerbaijan, you will see Karabagh is part of Azerbaijan. Army of Azerbaijan was proof that during II Karabagh War in 44 days. Azerbaijan won II Karabagh War. Long live Azerbaijan I always support Azerbaijan and Army of Azerbaijan.
Thanks for this. I am Armenian and very disconnected from my culture and this is the first video I watched to try and learn.

Thanks again.
Thank you for the comment! Actually it's sad to hear that Armenians aren't well perceived. I loved the country and the people. They're very hospitable and they helped us a lot👍
@@APolyglotDiary Yeah, I don't know why. I wasn't raised in an Armenian community and never knew any Armenian people growing up. I just see it in internet comments all the time and not just from Turks but also from Americans, Russians, Georgians, and some others. Also, I'll see some negativity on American television from time to time. It kind of makes me wonder but your videos show a lot of great history and culture so thank you for that.

A very excellent presentation and teaching. Thank you! I lived in Fresno, CA for 15 years and learned that Fresno is has the second largest Armenian community in the US after N.J.. That was 30+ years ago so things may have changed. In those days, it was quite common to hear the language being spoken just about everywhere in the city.
Great video, with a couple of really big mistakes re. populations. 660,000 Armenians in Dagestan? I doubt there are even 100 there. Most Armenians in Russia reside in Moscow, Krasnodar Krai, and other areas, but not in Muslim populated areas such as Dagestan, Chechnya, etc. There are up to 2 million in Russia and some even say more than that. Also when you say 120,000 in Azerbaijan I think it makes sense to say in Nagorno-Karabakh. Also, currently there are more than 120,000.
Armenian influence in Sardinian language is due to a thousend of soldiers in the Byzantine Army at the time of Vandalic War, they settle in south Sardinia and gave the name to the village of Armunja, Atzeni is the surname that is still in use and Ajo' is in use in the nowdays speech, other unique influence is the way to pronounce the "l" like "h" in english, a bit more stronger, .. this is a work in progress, I think I'll find more.

Thanks for the hard work. You did a great job. However, unfortunately, there are several mistakes, which I don't blame, cause those are what mainstream academics claim. First of all and the biggest misunderstanding arises from the sentence "Armenian letters were Created in 405". The Armenian letters were not Created but Discovered in 405. And there is a lot of proof to this which is just not being hyped. They were destroyed previously and forgotten (imagine how easy it was back then). There are a lot of fascinating hidden facts about the Armenian language and the Alphabet. Please do not look only at the mainstream claims and "facts". Those are mostly the biggest lies and misinformation.
Armenian alphabet dates back to prehistoric times, what Mesrop Mashtots did in 405 is that he recovered them after Christianity burned old Armenian pagan literature..
A Polyglot Diary there are plenty of evidence, but you have to be able to read Armenian. Or else You are right, Wikipedia won’t tell you otherwise.. Even Mesrop Mashtots himself sais it, that they never invented the alphabet, they found it with a huge group of researchers. We do not celebrate the invention of alphabet but we celebrate the recovery of the alphabet. Peace sister
@@kevomanoukian4847 I would like to read them, do you have links to researches/articles about it? No problem about the language, Google translator will help me :)
that is simply not true and there is no evidence to support this, if this was true there would be evidence everywhere in ancient sites, we see Cuniform and Greek being used to write in Armenian , the history of Armenia is ancient and glorious enough, why invent stuff, when the truth is already more then impressive.

А так спасибо за это шикарное видео, вы просто красавица, не понимаю почему просмотров и подписчиков мало, видео вы делаете на высоте, плюс на нескольких языках, это очень похвально, желаю вам всего наилучшего.
они не могут относится к населению Азербайджана, так как у них даже нету документов азербайджанских, просто РФ не грамотно или же умышленно так сделала чтоб управлять обеими республиками одновременно, и чтоб Армения не смогла посмотреть в сторону запада (Европы), ну а Азербайджан не смог посмотреть в сторону Турции, а так арцахским армянам выдадут скоро паспорта РФ ну и армяне будут гражданами РФ, ну и Арцах перейдет РФ как в свое время Кенигсберг то есть Калининград

The alphabet is almost exact to the Ethiopian language Amharic!... There is a really good video on RUclips that talks about us being from the same tribe from Ethiopians! And that they separated us for the last two thousand years it's really interesting stuff! Also the word Armenian refers to the word armenoid if people look that up you will realize that... the word armenoid means dark-skinned person! So it all kind of connects! That's why I get really upset when people try to say we had blond hair and blue eyes we never had that! Blonde hair and blue eyes or like eyes are all Invaders those are people of European ancestry and European blood a DNA test will prove it!!!!!
As you heard from the video Armenian letter were written in 405 by Mesrop Mashtoc who was a monk. Armenians and Ethiopians share same kind of church. that can explant similarities of letters. About armenoid, if you read the description it has wider characteristics then just dark-skinned person. It was depending in which region they were located, from Mediterranean to Middle east.....Armenia was one point part of Byzantine empire. It could be very possible (mixtures) what they were saying about their ancestors. Armenians it is not necessary to be armenoid, like Jewish is not necessary to be armenoid.
I've never heard of anything ridiculous as to what you just said, Ethiopian or geez is a semetic launguage first of all and has nothing to do with Armenian and so is the people. The term Armenoid was invented in the late 1800s by a Austrian Anthropologist and was used to determine the Armenian phenotype, has nothing to do with it being darked skinned or being part of Ethiopia lol, this is what happens when you have anyone in the comment section write whatever they want or make up stuff. Armenians do have a extensive history that goes back in time during the Egyptian so it's not out of the ordinary to have the two people mingle back in ancient times but to say that Armenians are a lost tribe of Ethiopians is something either a afrocentric person would say or a Turkish/azeri shill trying to spread misinformation. I dont know where you got this ridiculous story from, if this was the case it would be shown in DNA tests and genetics which is not so I dont know why anyone would entertain the idea, alphabet and grammar are different too, lol the exact same.
so yesterday i learned the grabarian armenian alphabet cause it was homework now im like that sounds very weird turkish kinda its pretty weird when you compare it to the modern day alphabet
@@epicdjyoshi648 Back in the ancient days of Armenia (when Armenia was actually growing and becoming an empire) Greek was also used i think. Tigranes the Second would usually be referred to as "ΜΕΓΑΣ ΤΙΓΡΑΝΟΣ" in ancient Armenian coins, i think
@@wrenisprobablyb0red true but then again even the gregorian alphabet could be invented by that same guy. it’s impossible to tell the origins of either of them at this point tbh
@@mv.112 Yup. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. I kinda wish all countries had their own scripts because this part of the world (The Middle East and Greater Anatolia) with it's Greek, Arabic, Caucasian Albanian, Georgian, Cyrillic, Latin, Assyrian, and Hebrew scripts is probably the most diverse!

World renowned Ethiopian political scientist, professor, author of many books and researcher of the legacy of the Ethiopian emperors, professor Tecola Hagos: "I was shocked to learn that the Armenians stole our alphabet I was simply amazed that the Armenians so skillfully, shamelessly, cynically and obscenely distorted historical facts. I was just shocked when I first picked up a book written in Armenian. At first I thought it was in Ethiopian, since the letters were from our ancient alphabet. In perplexity, I leafed through this book in a language I did not understand, and before my eyes ancient copies of one of the most ancient alphabets in the world - Ethiopian - came to life. It was a copy of the letters that our ancestors wrote thousands of years ago. I, almost screaming in surprise, showed these letters to my friend, a historian from Addis Ababa University. He smiled and said to me: "Didn't you know? When we stopped writing in our own letters, the Armenians presented them to the whole world as the Armenian alphabet. I devoted several of my lectures to this topic at the university. World science knows that this is the Ethiopian alphabet. , but the Armenians are promoting it to the whole world as their own "

Lol, dumb historic revisionism. Do you realize that the history of the region was not just written by Armenians or Azeris. It was told by Greeks, Romans and Byzantines, by Persians and Arabs, Russians, Georgians. What are you going to do? Go burn down Vatican with antique maps of Armenia? Or burn down the library of Congress? Or the British museum?
@@basmas5664 You know, I kind of pity you. You guys are poorly educated and brain washed. You don't know anything about genetics, linguistics, anthropology, archeology or history per se. Generally speaking for the past 30 years you have been just thought to hate. Even if you hate more than now, my language is not going to become "indian" ( and there is no such thing as indian language, by the way, they are 23 languages officially recognized and thousands of dialects spoken in India :D). The bs about originating form Romani people is easily disrupted by genetic studies, but who cares about science right? The Armenian church is one of the oldest on Earth. Vatican, Orthodox churches and literally every major Christian organization are cool with this, but muslim Azeris somehow know better than the Pope :D the bs about alphabets :DDDDD Armenian alphabet was modeled using Greek alphabet. And the closest linguistic relative of Armenian is Greek. Thousands of linguists around the world are somehow sure in this, but you know... Azeri conspiracy theorists know better :DDDD Whatever... spend your time reading, not drowning in xenophobia

"Армения, как государство, не играла никакой значительной роли в истории человечества, ее название было географическим термином, распространенным армянами, она была местом разрешения споров сильных государств - ассирийцев, мидийцев, иранцев, греков, монголов, русских..."

@Baikal Lake keep envy us you haven’t your own history you haven’t your own Culture, Alphabet etc. you stole name “azerbaijan” from Iran for Panturkism.
Armenians have their own language, culture, and nation. you are jealous that your alphabet is Latin, your language is Turkish, the flag you took from the Kuban
the Armenian language was part of the same language tree with the Greek and this tree fell apart a long time ago, so tell me, who does not have a culture and a nation?
@Baikal Lake let me say you boomer🤣 I offer you to read histories of Ancient Greece, Persia, Assyria, Georgia, Rome etc. then please compare it with yours. In those histories Armenia and Armenians exist, you will know a lot of things about us, but unfortunately you will never got a information about nomadic turks, also I recommend you to search Armenians DNA we are native people there our DNA coincides with those people who lived in this territory Also read Herodotus and Strabo works like “The Medes, Armenians, and Babylonians, the three greatest nations in these parts, were from the first in the practice, on convenient opportunities, of waging continual war with each other, and then making peace, which state of things continued till the establishment of the Parthian empire. The Parthians subdued the Medes and Babylonians, but never at any time conquered the Armenians. They made frequent inroads into their country, but the people were not subdued, and Tigranes, as I have mentioned in the description of Armenia, opposed them with great vigour and success.” Strabo, Geography (16.1.19)
@Baikal Lake Yeah, I have no idea how they missed your sarcasm. Obviously the sun doesn't actually belong to Turkey. Don't worry, you weren't being too subtle.
I have the greatest respect for the Armenian people, and have found them to be some of the nicest that I've ever met. Thank you for this interesting presentation on their unique alphabet!
As a fellow Armenian, this warms my heart. Thank you for making my day!

А так спасибо за это шикарное видео, вы просто красавица, не понимаю почему просмотров и подписчиков мало, видео вы делаете на высоте, плюс на нескольких языках, это очень похвально, желаю вам всего наилучшего.
они не могут относится к населению Азербайджана, так как у них даже нету документов азербайджанских, просто РФ не грамотно или же умышленно так сделала чтоб управлять обеими республиками одновременно, и чтоб Армения не смогла посмотреть в сторону запада (Европы), ну а Азербайджан не смог посмотреть в сторону Турции, а так арцахским армянам выдадут скоро паспорта РФ ну и армяне будут гражданами РФ, ну и Арцах перейдет РФ как в свое время Кенигсберг то есть Калининград
@@МарьянаПогосян-л4у это ты про нынешнюю ситуацию пишешь, а видео вышло давно, она тогда записывали арцахское население как население Азербайджана и для этого не нужно иметь паспорт Азербайджана. Просто Азербайджан считаяя эти территории своими, записывал местное население, как население Азербайджана, хотя по факту это не так.
unlike the azerbaijani people we know how to identify ourselves, we know where we come from and we don't lie about the history,

Thanks for the maps and great explanations.
I just want to say that in many languages letters correspond to numbers (latin, greek, hebrew, arabic...) so it's nothing new.

Not right now as with 12 languages and constant practice I have enough. But in the future maybe, why not😉
Wikipedia articles retold slowly. No answer to the question in the title.
Very nice
The alphabet is almost exact to the Ethiopian language Amharic!... There is a really good video on RUclips that talks about us being from the same tribe from Ethiopians! And that they separated us for the last two thousand years it's really interesting stuff! Also the word Armenian refers to the word armenoid if people look that up you will realize that... the word armenoid means dark-skinned person! So it all kind of connects! That's why I get really upset when people try to say we had blond hair and blue eyes we never had that! Blonde hair and blue eyes or like eyes are all Invaders those are people of European ancestry and European blood a DNA test will prove it!!!!!
Amharic isn't even an alphabet? It has like hundreds of characters. of course they look... vaguely similar?
@@wrenisprobablyb0red "vaguely similar?" Really? The Armenian alphabet is strikingly similar to Ge'ez
As you heard from the video Armenian letter were written in 405 by Mesrop Mashtoc who was a monk. Armenians and Ethiopians share same kind of church. that can explant similarities of letters. About armenoid, if you read the description it has wider characteristics then just dark-skinned person. It was depending in which region they were located, from Mediterranean to Middle east.....Armenia was one point part of Byzantine empire. It could be very possible (mixtures) what they were saying about their ancestors. Armenians it is not necessary to be armenoid, like Jewish is not necessary to be armenoid.
I've never heard of anything ridiculous as to what you just said, Ethiopian or geez is a semetic launguage first of all and has nothing to do with Armenian and so is the people. The term Armenoid was invented in the late 1800s by a Austrian Anthropologist and was used to determine the Armenian phenotype, has nothing to do with it being darked skinned or being part of Ethiopia lol, this is what happens when you have anyone in the comment section write whatever they want or make up stuff. Armenians do have a extensive history that goes back in time during the Egyptian so it's not out of the ordinary to have the two people mingle back in ancient times but to say that Armenians are a lost tribe of Ethiopians is something either a afrocentric person would say or a Turkish/azeri shill trying to spread misinformation. I dont know where you got this ridiculous story from, if this was the case it would be shown in DNA tests and genetics which is not so I dont know why anyone would entertain the idea, alphabet and grammar are different too, lol the exact same.
Sorry my English is not very perfected.
so yesterday i learned the grabarian armenian alphabet cause it was homework now im like that sounds very weird turkish kinda its pretty weird when you compare it to the modern day alphabet
Great video! I had no idea that the Armenian alphabet came from Greek. Fascinating!!!
epic djyoshi Armenian alphabet did NOT come from Greek, who told you that??
@@AR-ef1rs In the video Daniela said that it was potentially inspired from the Greek alphabet. Not came from but that was kinda what I was getting at
@@epicdjyoshi648 Back in the ancient days of Armenia (when Armenia was actually growing and becoming an empire) Greek was also used i think. Tigranes the Second would usually be referred to as "ΜΕΓΑΣ ΤΙΓΡΑΝΟΣ" in ancient Armenian coins, i think

The original armenian alphabet seems similar to brahmi
The Armenian alphabet doesn't come from Greek
it didnt evolve from Greek but the person who invented the alphabet looked at the greek alphabet for it
@@mv.112 Or, it might have came from the Georgian nukshuri alphabet, which was from asomtavruli, which was from greek?
@@wrenisprobablyb0red true but then again even the gregorian alphabet could be invented by that same guy. it’s impossible to tell the origins of either of them at this point tbh
@@mv.112 Yup. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. I kinda wish all countries had their own scripts because this part of the world (The Middle East and Greater Anatolia) with it's Greek, Arabic, Caucasian Albanian, Georgian, Cyrillic, Latin, Assyrian, and Hebrew scripts is probably the most diverse!
And I think all the scripts look beautiful and show off the cultures in a positive light.
You did not bother to announce letters. The historic part was too sketchy. Did not make it till the end of the video, boring

Why you don't learn Azerbaijani language?
There is no such language as Armenian...There is a language called Hayotz lezu.I seem you don't name the english language,by example,German language...Linguist...You know nothing about Armenian language and Armenians(Hayotz).Good luck

World renowned Ethiopian political scientist, professor, author of many books and researcher of the legacy of the Ethiopian emperors, professor Tecola Hagos:
"I was shocked to learn that the Armenians stole our alphabet
I was simply amazed that the Armenians so skillfully, shamelessly, cynically and obscenely distorted historical facts. I was just shocked when I first picked up a book written in Armenian. At first I thought it was in Ethiopian, since the letters were from our ancient alphabet. In perplexity, I leafed through this book in a language I did not understand, and before my eyes ancient copies of one of the most ancient alphabets in the world - Ethiopian - came to life. It was a copy of the letters that our ancestors wrote thousands of years ago. I, almost screaming in surprise, showed these letters to my friend, a historian from Addis Ababa University. He smiled and said to me: "Didn't you know? When we stopped writing in our own letters, the Armenians presented them to the whole world as the Armenian alphabet. I devoted several of my lectures to this topic at the university. World science knows that this is the Ethiopian alphabet. , but the Armenians are promoting it to the whole world as their own "

All alphabets derive from others? This isn't even remotely unique.
You can clearly see how the Armenian and Ethiopian alphabets are different.

American historians Justin and Carolyn McCarthy:
"The modern territory of Armenia belongs not to Armenians, but to Azerbaijanis. This is the reason that most of the geographical names in the territory of Armenia belong to Azerbaijanis.
@Lucy Hovhannisyan Arsak or Arsakh is an ancient toponym belonging to the Turkic tribes in the territory of Azerbaijan. The word "Arsakh" is associated with the name of the Sak, an ancient Turkic tribe, and means "brave sak", "husband sak", "sak man".🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿
Lol, dumb historic revisionism. Do you realize that the history of the region was not just written by Armenians or Azeris. It was told by Greeks, Romans and Byzantines, by Persians and Arabs, Russians, Georgians.
What are you going to do? Go burn down Vatican with antique maps of Armenia? Or burn down the library of Congress? Or the British museum?

@@basmas5664 You know, I kind of pity you. You guys are poorly educated and brain washed. You don't know anything about genetics, linguistics, anthropology, archeology or history per se. Generally speaking for the past 30 years you have been just thought to hate. Even if you hate more than now, my language is not going to become "indian" ( and there is no such thing as indian language, by the way, they are 23 languages officially recognized and thousands of dialects spoken in India :D). The bs about originating form Romani people is easily disrupted by genetic studies, but who cares about science right? The Armenian church is one of the oldest on Earth. Vatican, Orthodox churches and literally every major Christian organization are cool with this, but muslim Azeris somehow know better than the Pope :D the bs about alphabets :DDDDD Armenian alphabet was modeled using Greek alphabet. And the closest linguistic relative of Armenian is Greek. Thousands of linguists around the world are somehow sure in this, but you know... Azeri conspiracy theorists know better :DDDD Whatever... spend your time reading, not drowning in xenophobia

"Армения, как государство, не играла никакой значительной роли в истории человечества, ее название было географическим термином, распространенным армянами, она была местом разрешения споров сильных государств - ассирийцев, мидийцев, иранцев, греков, монголов, русских..."
"Сразу после заключения Туркменчайского договора (10 февраля 1828 года) под руководством Паскевича в Азербайджан были переселены 40 тысяч армян из Ирана и 90 тысяч армян из Турции. В общей сложности в 1828 - 1896 годах из Ирана и Турции было переселено более 1 миллиона 200 тысяч армян. Из них 985 тысяч 460 человек были размещены на западных землях Азербайджана, а остальная часть - в Карабахе и Елизаветпольской (Гянджинской) губернии. После благоустройства армяне начали вытеснять азербайджанских тюрков, они же произвели массовые погромы и грабежи, а также варварски истребили огромное число людей".
Alphabet is Ethiopian alphabet. Flag is Colombian flag. Armenia = It is a fake country.
@Baikal Lake keep envy us you haven’t your own history you haven’t your own Culture, Alphabet etc. you stole name “azerbaijan” from Iran for Panturkism.
Armenians have their own language, culture, and nation. you are jealous that your alphabet is Latin, your language is Turkish, the flag you took from the Kuban
the Armenian language was part of the same language tree with the Greek and this tree fell apart a long time ago, so tell me, who does not have a culture and a nation?
@Baikal Lake let me say you boomer🤣 I offer you to read histories of Ancient Greece, Persia, Assyria, Georgia, Rome etc. then please compare it with yours. In those histories Armenia and Armenians exist, you will know a lot of things about us, but unfortunately you will never got a information about nomadic turks, also I recommend you to search Armenians DNA we are native people there our DNA coincides with those people who lived in this territory
Also read Herodotus and Strabo works like
“The Medes, Armenians, and Babylonians, the three greatest nations in these parts, were from the first in the practice, on convenient opportunities, of waging continual war with each other, and then making peace, which state of things continued till the establishment of the Parthian empire.
The Parthians subdued the Medes and Babylonians, but never at any time conquered the Armenians. They made frequent inroads into their country, but the people were not subdued, and Tigranes, as I have mentioned in the description of Armenia, opposed them with great vigour and success.”
Strabo, Geography (16.1.19)
@Baikal Lake Yeah, I have no idea how they missed your sarcasm. Obviously the sun doesn't actually belong to Turkey. Don't worry, you weren't being too subtle.
