The Armenian language was influenced by contact with neighbouring languages and cultures, such as Greek, Persian and Arabic. These influences can be seen in the grammar, vocabulary and phonetics of the language. There are similarities with Greek words, but also loan words from Persian. The Armenian people appear in documents as early as the 6th century BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the Armenian language contains many different sounds, Armenians often find it easy to pronounce other European languages \u2013 there is the &#8220;German&#8221; CH, the English R, and a rolled R as in Russian or Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Armenia is about the size of Brandenburg and has a population of approximately 3 million speakers. There are countless dialects in this small mountainous country. A distinction is also made between Western and Eastern Armenian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Armenian is also spoken in the Armenian diaspora \u2013 in Russia, Lebanon, Syria, Europe and the USA. Depending on the estimate, the total number of speakers is up to 9 million. Around 100 Armenians live in Dresden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audio sample<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/kulturaktiv.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01_Armenisch.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Listen to text sample<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Script<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Armenian alphabet was developed around 405 AD by the monk and saint Mesrop Mashtots using Latin and, above all, Greek letters. It comprises a large number of letters, namely 39 (the English alphabet, without the umlauts \u00e4, \u00fc, \u00f6, has 26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The artistic design of letters is a deeply rooted folk tradition in Armenia.
