Armenian Dialects (How Different Are They?)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- The Armenian language, being one of the most unique Indo-European languages, is known for its two standard forms, Eastern Armenian and Western Armenian. Eastern Armenian is spoken in the Republic of Armenia, as well as by the Armenian diaspora in countries such as Iran, Russia, Georgia, and other post-Soviet countries. Western Armenian, on the other hand, is primarily spoken by the Armenians in Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, the other parts of the Middle East, as well as South American countries. There are many different varieties, dialects, and accents in both standard forms. Every region in Armenia, and almost every village, has its own dialect. Also, among the diaspora, varieties and dialects have been created that are unique only to them, in which words from other languages (e.g. Persian, Turkish or Russian) are often found. This, of course, has its historical basis. In this video, several different dialects will be presented and discussed.

Armenia is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Despite the fact that throughout history it has been invaded and occupied by numerous different empires and foreign forces, and although Armenians have on different occasions adopted and implemented new beliefs and ideas into their culture, they have always managed to maintain and preserve their unique identity and language, from the time of the Kingdom of Urartu (also known as Kingdom of Van) going back to the 9th century BCE, to the time of the Orontid dynasty when most Armenians adopted Zoroastrianism, to the early part of the 4th century when Armenia became the first nation to officially adopt Christianity as a state religion. In the ensuing centuries, Armenia witnessed the invasion of numerous different empires, and ultimately in the 19th century, following the war between Iran and Russia, a significant part of historic Eastern Armenia which had been under Iranian control, was annexed by the Russian Empire as per the Treaty of Turkmenchay. While Eastern Armenia remained under Russian control, the historic Western Armenia was under the control of the Ottoman Empire. But as the WWI came to an end and both empires collapsed, parts of historical Armenia gained independence and by 1918 the First Republic of Armenia was established. In the years that followed, after several wars and conflicts, the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic (also known as Soviet Armenia) was established as part of the Soviet Union and remained as such until the 1990s. In the summer of 1990, Armenia declared its independence from the Soviet Union which was confirmed a year later by a referendum, and as the Soviet Union collapsed, the independence of Armenia as sovereign nation became widely recognized.
In the post-Soviet era, Armenia has been very successful in linguistic de-Russification and today Armenian (հայերէն / հայերեն) continues to be written in its own writing system, the Armenian alphabet, which was introduced by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century.
The most widespread Armenian dialect today is the Yerevan dialect (Երևանի բարբառ), an Eastern Armenian dialect composed primarily of Classical Armenian (Grabar) words, with some influence from other languages such as Russian and Persian. Other Eastern dialects include the ancient Artsakh dialect, also referred to as the Karabakh dialect, Parskahayeren, which is spoken by Iranian Armenians, as well as many dialects within Armenia, and several others which are no longer spoken.
Western Armenian, which is based mainly on the Istanbul Armenian dialect, also has many subdialects and accents. Historically, there were many different Western Armenian dialects which are now extinct. The dialects which have survived include, among others, Homshetsi (Հոմշեցի / Hemşince), which is spoken by the Hemshin people in northeastern Turkey, Abkhazia, Russia, and Central Asia; the dialects spoken in Syria and Lebanon, such as those in Kessab (كسب), Latakia (اللاذقية), Jisr al-Shughur (جسر الشغور), and Anjar (عنجر); the dialects spoken by the Armenians in Istanbul and Vakıflı (Վաքըֆ), the only remaining Armenian village in Turkey, the Mush dialect (Մշոյ բարբառ) which used to be spoken in the city of Muş in present-day eastern Turkey, but today it is nearly extinct and its remaining few native speakers are scattered in villages in Armenia and three Armenian-populated villages in the Samtskhe-Javakheti province of Georgia, the Karin dialect, which used to be primarily spoken in the city of Erzurum in present-day eastern Turkey, but nowadays, it is mainly spoken in northwestern Armenia, in places such as Gyumri, Artik, Akhuryan, and Aghin.
The Armenian language, being one of the most unique Indo-European languages, is known for its two standard forms, Eastern Armenian and Western Armenian. There are many different varieties, dialects, and accents in both standard forms. Every region in Armenia, and almost every village, has its own dialect. Also, among the diaspora, varieties and dialects have been created that are unique only to them, in which words from other languages (e.g. Persian, Turkish or Russian) are often found. This, of course, has its historical basis. In this video, several different dialects are presented and discussed!

I am so impressed with Vartan's knowledge. That's amazing!
Long live Armenia from Palestine!
I like the new format. It was interesting!
I worked with a lot of Armenians in France. They were really nice and hospitable people.
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 "
Thanks for including me in this! Loved watching everyone’s stories and learning about the different dialects. ❤️

@@penonnew8753 that was just a false term used by Europeans at a time when they called Iran "Persia", so they called the Christians in Iran as Christian Persians, and since the majority of Christians in Iran were Armenian, they falsely began using the term to refer to Armenians of Iran.

Thank you brother. And may God protect the ancient Iranian Azeri people from being brainwashed by Turanist propaganda. The people of Azerbaijan do have an ancient heritage. They are the descendants of Medes, Persians and Parthians. Once the people in ROA realize their ancient heritage and escape Turkic brainwashing, we will all be able to live in peace.
@@sakogekchyan7366 your welcome bro. yes exactly true azeris are descendant of medes, unfortunately azeris were assimilated during mongols invasion, because mongol army were included 80% of turks and they settled in azerbaijan and azeris had to speak turkic languge

@Doctor Max true.
As always your videos are executed in a very professional but yet in a homey way that the participants have a certain ease and friendly manner. Thank you for all the efforts you put forth to make these videos in order for people like us who appreciate languages and cultures of different places. I’m a history and linguist major and I remember one if my college professors once told us if we want to understand a civilization or a culture and their history, first we need to know and understand their language. He said within the language of a culture lies the history of it. This always stuck in mind and from my own experience of meeting many people from around the world I can vouch that when you respect someone’s language and even learn to greet him in his own language that is magic. Since it brings smile into his face and breaks the ice and it shows how much respect you have that you put an effort to learn few words in his language. This may even lead to a friendship. 😊 The participants did very well👏🏻👏🏻 Excellent job!
I am an Armenian-Iranian thought this video was cute, one thing I want to add I live in Yerevan and I noticed people from the Gavar or Martuni region in Armenia speak almost the same dialect as Armenian-Iranians specifically from the village of Peria or Fereydan in Persian...just wanted to mention it maybe some people have also noticed it...to add further within Armenian-Iranian dialect there are many dialects, the way my father and mother spoke were very different from each other, New Julfa people from Isfahan speak differently than those from Tabriz and there are even different dialects from the Armenian villages in Iran, I would suggest to do a video just on Iranian-Armenian dialects! I would love to participate.
Maybe cause most of the Armenians in Iran were originally from Artsakh and nakichevan Region before Shah Abas relocated/forced migration to parts of Iran.
@@johnd2550 A lot of Iranian Armenians were originally from Nakhichevan, near Mount Ararat, especially from Old Julfa, They may well also come there from Artsakh, but this is the first time I've seen anyone say that.
@ArmenianBishop it's because most Armenians don't even know their own history and if you read history specially in that period it specifically tells you where the Armenians word displaced from
@@johnd2550 I'm California diaspora Armenian American. My maternal ancestry from Moosh (Moush). Maybe, something's implied there, but I know Armenian History very well. For example: My cover-to-cover reading of Kukjian's "A History of Armenia" (412 pages).
Most of us have gaps in our knowledge, which makes it good to work together. We're talking about thousands of years.
I loved it! As you said many Iranian entertainers and artists are Armenian, in addition to the ones you guys said I will just add Artashes Avetyan, as well as conductor Aram Gharabekian and others in the music industry like Khachik Babayan and Armik Dashchi.

Much love & respect to our beautiful Armenian brothers & sisters from Iran :))
Greetings from Southern California. I am of Armenian, Ukrainian, and Corsican descent and I was born in Tabriz Iran. Growing up in Tabriz and Tehran I was exposed to 6/7 languages almost on daily basis. My parents spoke Russian to each other most of the time and they spoke in Armenian to me and my sisters. One of my Grandmothers who spoke in Salmast (Shahpoor) dialect in Armenian, also used to speak in Assyrian to our Assyrian neighbor. We also had Italian and French neighbors throughout the '70s and learned to speak to them in their own languages and of course, Farsi and Azeri were used pretty much every day. I've been living in the States for over 40 years now and since I love linguistics, one of my hobbies is researching languages and their origins. I have seen your previous videos and I've really enjoyed them. However, this one was very special to me since it had to do with my native language. Thanks again Bahador for another great video! Also many thanks to all the participants. Շնորհակալություններ.
can you speak farsi?
@@faramarzkarimi9845 Yes.

Love and support armenia 🇮🇷❤️🇦🇲
Another very noticeable difference between the persian-armenian accent and the yerevan accent is the different r sound. persian armenians pronounce it like the english/albanian r while in the yerevan accent it has a little roll to it. My hubby is a tall and buff ginger with a very heavy persian armenian accent (english r, long vowels, talks like he's singing, throws in some persian words) which makes him the perfect target for jokes.

I'm pretty sure armenian is an indo-european language.
@@unitariansavage8513 It's an isolate within the Indo-European language family, so it occupied an independent branch of which it is the only member. Just like Greek and Albanian.

Both of our nations have suffered from the same aggressive entities. Israel and Azerbaijan's close and friendly relations with no regard for humanity have harmed us both. Israel provides Azerbaijan with most of its weapons to attack Armenia, but this is also harming Palestine, it is a boost to the Israeli military and its arms industry. Azerbaijan provides Israel with its energy needs and boosts its economy. They have always worked hand in hand and have no regard for humanity. But we will remain resilient and come out victorious in the end! Stay strong Armenia! 💓🇵🇸🇦🇲

I am from Javakhq, (Western Armenian dialect from Erzrum, Karin) and I understand good only first 2 dialects.
Is western Armenian dialect the same in all parts or are they different from each other
And what about Eastern Armenian dialect and the one from nackchivan is it the same as the one with Western Armenian dialect

Uhh, third one is my Mother tongue dialect🙌🏼😊 The Artsakhci dialect. Immediately recognized it😁😁❤
Ah too bad you didn't include the dialect of Vardenis, I think it is sooo cute, whenever they are talking about the present, they use a future tense. Oh yeah and the Artsakh dialect really sounds like a totally different language to me! I have also noticed that they use different Russian words than the Armenians from Armenia like steklo for glass. I find it really peculiar and interesting. Love the video: great idea! Hope there will be many more videos like this.
It’s not just one Artsakh dialect, there are dozens of them. Pretty much every region has its own. Hadrut and Stepanakert dialect speaker here🫡

I had a classmate who was from Sochi and whose family was Homshetsi speaking. I'd say there's definitely limited intelligibility between Homshetsi and mainstream Western/Eastern Armenian.

i hope this helps to understand armenian as an indoeuropean language a bit more:
as someone who speaks multiple indoeuropean languages I can tell you a few things I have noticed about people who struggle to understand how armenian fits into the indoeuropean family:
-first armenian is an indoeuropean isolate meaning there is no other language that is very close to armenian in the way french and italian are or german and swedish
.second you have to look at all the indoeuropean languages in order to make the connection to armenian for example the armenian word for father is hayr, you cant make a connection here to father, vater, paedar etc right away but if you add in irish and welsh (look at how far apart the countries are-you probably wouldnt have thought of that) then it's a lot more clear as in: fATHER (english), vater (german), atHAIR (irish) hayr (armenian) if you want to understand the connection you have to look at ALL indoeuropean langauges
-armenia is located in the caucasus which is a mountainous area that means armenias were very isolated from other indoeuropeans which lead to weird sound shifts in their language and they are surrounded by non indoeuropean people.
-indoeuropean armenian replaced the language of urartian (which was a caucasian language spoken in the region before armenian) therefore armenian has loanwords from a hurro-urartian language that is not connected to any other language family (it's connection to other north caucasian languages is not proven)
also armenian is closer connected to DEAD indoeuropean languages like Hittite and anatolian rather then living ones
Urartian it’s proto-Armenian and Armenian.
@@tothemoonforme66 no urartian belongs to the hurro-urartian language family that has no connection to any other language family it's not semitic or indoeuropean; proto armenian is an indoeuropean language. both languages came into contact and in the end armenian replaced it completly. thats why there are urartian loanwords in armenian and indoeuropean (armenian) loanwords in urartian
Wow... I have no idea what they are saying, but still they sound different to me. Language is amazing.
Great video, very edifying and fun. Thank you to Bahdor and all the participants. May God reward you thousand fold for your efforts. I also loved Jessica’s rendition and the Barsgahye Armenian too. Finally, a big shutout to Elisa, your message for unity is well taken. I want to amplify and reiterate the same message, Miatsek Hyer, Armenians of the World, unite. In unity there is strength, and strength is fundamental for the survival of this great nation and its ancient culture.
There are so many beautiful Armenian churches in Iran. In fact, in total there are more than 600 churches in Iran today and about a third of them, around 200 or so are Armenian. My personal favorite is the Vank Cathedral in the gorgeous Armenian neighborhood of New Julfa in Isfahan. New Julfa is still one of the oldest and largest Armenian quarters in the world. There are several modern churches in Tehran like Saint Sarkis or the Saint Mary Church which is also called Surp Asdvadzadzin Church, but in Persian mainly just called kelisa ye maryame moghadas. These are churches which were built in the 20th century. There are older ones in Tehran, but you will find the much more ancient Armenian churches in Northwestern Iran and they are very historical. For instance, Monastery of Saint Thaddeus in Chaldoran which is one of the oldest churches in the world.
But they destroyed mosques in Karabakh
@@eltn2610 Buildings get destroyed in war zones, and Azerbaijan has destroyed endless Armenian cultural sites. Besides, I've been to Armenia and even visited the Blue mosque in Yerevan which is very well taken care of.
@@omid706 They didn't destroyed but turned mosques into piggery.They were going to laugh at muslims but see what happened.
May be you are not Muslim that's why you don't get this
@@eltn2610 1st of all, I am Muslim, secondly I am an Iranian Azerbaijani and I don't buy your propaganda. Republic of Azerbaijan is the least Islamic country out of all Muslim-majority countries and it's the Republic of Azerbaijan that is close allies with the biggest enemy of Muslim, that's Israel. Azerbaijan provides Israel with its energy and the Israeli economy, as well as arms industry benefits heavily thanks to Azerbaijan buying most of its weapons from Israel. You really care about Muslims and mosques? I don't think so! You're just a phony pretender and a failed troll, a miserable one who thinks his propaganda actually works.
Cry me a river!!
Iranian Armenians have different accents by region as well, In Isfahan, they use an extra S just like Isfahani Persian at the end of words, in Tabriz they have a slight Turkish accent, and in Abadan its totally Khuzestani accent but in Armenian 😂super cute😍

That was perfect.Thankyou everyone. I have some questions:
1. Is there a difference between the Armenian language that is taught in Iran and Armenia?
Like alphabet or handwriting
2. Can you introduce some references about ancient armenian like manuscripts?
Where are they?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urartian_language
Answer to first question. The Republic of Armenia uses a simplified spelling system. Outside Armenia, communities still use the classic spelling. This includes Iran. In Western countries, classic spelling is used by both Western and Eastern branch speakers.
Western and Eastern Armenian are not just spoken varieties. The syntax and inflexions are different, so it’s written differently as well. So basically, there is:
- Eastern Armenian using classical
spelling (Iran and eastern dialect speakers in Diaspora
- Eastern Armenian using simplified (Armenia)
- Western Armenian.
Alphabet and handwriting is the same, but the grammar and pronunciation can be slightly different. If both speakers use just armenian words without mixing russian turkish or persian words, they will understand each other perfectly.
There are ancient armenian manuscripts kept in Matenadaran, which is a hand manuscript museum in Yerevan with armenian, persian, arabic, greek manuscripts.
Was this the same story about Nuf-nuf, Naf-Naf and Nif-Nif,, told in various dialects?
Yes, exactly
I really admire your ability to connect with and build friendships with everyone regardless of their nationality, religion, race or ethnicity.

Hi Armenians. I'm uzbek from Margilan. Tamara Khanim was born in our city 115 years ago. She won the hearts of the entire Uzbek people. She was an Armenian women.
I want to visit a museum dedicated to her in Uzbekistan 🥰
@@suss466 Tamara Khanim born armenian uzbek dancer and Singer.
literally they all insult turks with such sentences like ‘gO bAcK tO CeNtRaL aSia’, they are racist towards asians and their favourite way to hate on turks is bringing up our roots. basically they have been looking down on us for almost a milennia just because of the fact that we are related to you and you are here sending greetings. i hope those like you open your eyes a little bit. i dont who that woman was but i know tasnaksutyun even slaughtered thousands of people in uzbekistan. margilan to be exact.
@@md-dp5bo Are you talking about Armenians? Just look at Azerbaijanis and Turks and how they talk and treat Armenians, there was literally someone in Turkey who was sued for insulting someone of “Armenian”, a hate speech held by Turks in Sweden who promoted hatred towards Armenians and they wonder why they got arrested. I can tell you, my friend, that there is no such things as ethnophobia taught in school and a lot of people saying it are not necessary Armenians. I think it's really ignorant for you to ask someone to open his eyes and to talk about slaughter. Now gtfo of this channel.
Our most popular rocker is also an Armenian (Hayko cepkin). My father had taken pictures with him. 🇹🇷❤️🇺🇿
In Bangladesh, We have a place named to respect a very small Armenian settlement of many years ago called Armenitola. The Armenian origin people already moved to America and they sometimes visit. They never mixed with us. They have a church there what we consider as historical artifact.
I like history of Armenian language as Indo-European languages
Thanks a lot 🙏
This is very interesting. So is eastern and western Armenian really different? Greetings from Baku.
Нет, отличий нет.
We have around 60 dialects bro in fact our dialects are like differnet slavic or turcic languages for each other.
@@andremaster1752 No, More like armenian from one City don`t like armenian from another, because some of our stupid esh`s think. that they are pure armenians and others are not
As an Armenian-American I really like learning different languages too I can speak English and I can understand and speak a little of Serbian, Russian, and Armenian
Great video I really enjoyed it. Thank you for creating it. ❤🙏🏻
Love armenia from ALGERIA
Fantastic job bravo and thank you .
As a Kurdish I really like Arminian people so wanted to know more about this language .. thank you for sharing this video bahdor 🙏🏻
Although I didn't understand them well, much respect to our neighbour Armenians. We Iranians love you ❤😊😊😊😊❤
Hey Bahador. I wish an Armenian in Turkey would contribute to this! I think it would be interesting to watch. Great video!!!
But in Muslim Armenians are not even considered be part of Armenian ethnicities except the orthodox...
@@None-self Actually there are a lot of Orthodox Armenians in Turkey, mostly in Istanbul
@@None-self not true, Armenians are an ethnic group not a religious group.
Allah bless Armenia 🙏
Insha'Allah liberation of Artsakh 🇮🇷🇦🇲
Inshallah soon

Don't worry, the area has already been liberated. The region was liberated by the real owners, by our brothers, the Azerbaijani Turks. The tears of our tearful mothers, who were exiled from those lands years ago, stopped. ÇOK YAŞA AZERBAYCAN🇦🇿
So many important dialects are omitted, like Khoy, Dzhavakheti, Mush, Amshen dialects
Some were discussed and all those are in the description. You didn't honestly expect every one of the 70 or so dialects in one video did you?
@@arexta153 Dzhavakheti and Khoy dialects are not in the description and Khoy dialects are not even mentioned in the video.
@@arexta153 I didn't mention dialects, i mentioned large groups of dialects that are spoken in relatively large areas. It's strange that for example Karabakh dialect is in the video, and these dialects are not although they are more common.
@@arexta153 of course i didnt expect all little dialects to be mentioned, but i think all large groups of dialects should have been represented, (one dialect from each group) there are quite few of them. That would be fair
@@user-pc8ph2vs5c Khoy dialect is not mentioned, but they’ve mentioned Vayots Dzor dialect, and we (people from Vayots Dzor) came from Khoy and Salmast back then
Thank you.
I am Armenian in USA. Originally from Azerbaijan. I can understand some. Usually Armenian like me call Russian speaking Armenian.
Thanks again for such video.
Greetings from Azerbaijani Turk
I love Armenian people , they are good and kind and hospitality people , Barev dzez from Kurdistan
Thank you so much for this priceless video, it is so interesting
There are so many famous Armenians from Syria! Armenians have so much history in Syria, not just in recent centuries as they fled and found safe refuge in Syria, but also from ancient times. The Syrian border villages of Kessab and Yakubiyah had Armenian majorities prior to the civil war. Kessab was attacked and looted by Turkish-backed Islamist Syrian rebels who were given safe passage by Turkey through Turkish land, though they were later humiliated and got what they deserved, either trashed or expelled by the Syrian Army.
Exactly! Kessab has been Armenian since the middle ages as was ajesent to the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia next to modern-day Syria.
God bless Syrian people may God bring peace to Syria
Stay strong brothers and sister 🇦🇲🇸🇾✌🏼
Thanks to everyone for this video! 🇦🇲
This video is so fun to watch :) By the way Gyumri dialect is the best :P
Молодые я вам всем желаю МИРА ЛЮБВИ СЧАСТЬЯ И КРАСИВЫХ ДЕТЕЙ ❤❤❤
thanks a lot for my native Gyumri dialect. Love all armenian dialects as well
Lithuanian is one of the best kept secrets for keeping a lot of PIE root words. Lithuanian (especially from the country side) & Sanskrit should be a good video .
Armenian sounds beautiful
Great, bravo!
