Armenia–Language

 

If you’re planning to move to Armenia you’d better get yourself in gear and learn Armenian–at least if you intend to communicate with an estimated 97.7% of your friends. Unlike Azeri, which is related to Turkish, and Georgian, which is related to no known languages outside the region, Armenian is one of the most ancient, and most independent, branches of the Indo-European language group family tree. Armenian is the only surviving Indo-European language that is related equally to both Eastern (Persian) and Western (Greek) branches of the tree. The Armenian language is a literal linguistic
bridge between East and West. (Visit this flashing musical site about the Armenian
