I am Armenian. The Hamshen Armenian dialect, also known as Hamshetsnag, is very similar to my own language, and I can understand it almost completely. In order to preserve Hamshetsnag, I propose the development of a teaching manual for children that utilizes the Turkish alphabet.
Almost along the entire Black Sea coast of Turkey, from Sinop to Hopa, live the Hemshils, a people whose native language is a dialect of Armenian. his ancestors are considered to be Armenians who moved here from the Caucasus during the Byzantine Empire, that is, before the arrival of the Turks
Their origins are not uncertain, please don't add to the confusion. There is a detailed historical evidence about the Hamshen Armenians. All recorded in history In 789AD Prince Hamam, his father Prince Shapuh Amatuni and 12,000 of their subjects migrated North to the Black Sea region in order to escape incoming Arab invasions of Vaspurakan, the land of their origin. They settled in the ruined city of Tambur and its surrounding villages. Prince Hamam rebuilt the city and named it Hamamshen, meaning "Hamam's hamlet" in Armenian. It is north of the historic Armenian region of Tayk. After several centuries, the name Hamamshen evolved into Hamshen in the Armenian language, and Hemshin in the Turkish language. The Armenians of Hamamshen were cut off from the rest of the Armenian social and cultural world and developed their own distinct ethnic identity. Those who converted to Islam also lost their millet Armenian identity, were Ottomanized, and forgot their Armenian roots. Others, who remained Christian, retained their Armenian identity and later fled to Abkhazia under the Russian Empire. The Muslim & Christian Hamshen Armenians speak an identical dialect, this dialect must be preserved as testimony to resilience of the Armenian people, some who are now Muslim and still keep their Armenian language , customs and culture.
Unfortunately, this happens all the time and everywhere - villages become empty, languages get forgotten. However, it's a whole different story when it's the government who tries to wipe history and tradition out. It's incredibly sad...
It's almost entirely understandable to me (Armenian native speaker), like 80-90%. Only exception is actual Turkish segments (the guy in the second part of the video mostly speaks Turkish).
Thank you all for preserving this treasure by making this little film 💙

Interesting film. Everyone needs to remember and follow their roots.

That's why it remains important to have it preserved in a short film like this! So that it is accessible and can be remembered by the world.
sounds very close to armenian. i can actually understand a couple words.
