Armenian is an Indo-European language belonging to an independent branch of which it is the only member. It is the official language of Armenia. Historically spoken in the Armenian Highlands, today Armenian is widely spoken throughout the Armenian diaspora. The total number of Armenian speakers worldwide is estimated between 5 and 7 million.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
6:00 it doesn’t have ejectives though, they are aspirated consonants
I was gonna write this.
The only Indo-European language that actually has ejectives is Ossetian.
Armenian has aspiration.
If anything it's the non-aspirated voiceless stops not marked by apostrophes that can have ejective pronunciations in some dialects, most notably the Yerevan dialect. Apparently this isn't part of the prescribed standard pronunciation though.
@@vonPeterhof Holy fuck, you know so much about linguistics. I know scarcely half the words you've spoken there.
@@sobertowelie3267 no, as vonPeterhof said in a reply above this, the Yerevan dialect definitely has ejectives. my bf is from Yerevan and there, they pronounce the unaspirated versions of p, t, k, ts and ch as ejectives. I know because I have a lot of trouble pronouncing those letters lol, and he gets so frustrated trying to get me to say it right.
Georgian also definitely has ejectives. just listen to Trio Mandili or Trio Lavdila, not just while singing but when they have little conversations in their videos as well.
@@Teritus911 aspirated = a slight "h" sound pronounced immediately after a consonant - say "pet hand" really fast, then the "t" in pet gets aspirated.
ejectives, well, they're hard to describe with written words. like the slight "h" sound in aspirated consonants, ejectives have a "pop" sound that comes straight from your glottis (the part that closes when you say "uh-oh"). it exists only in some Caucasian languages, like Georgian, Ossetian, Kabardian or the Yerevan dialect of Armenian.
voiceless = consonants that you promounce without your voice. for example, v and f are both pronounced by putting your upper teeth on your bottom lip. the difference in the sound comes from whether it's voiced (v) or not (f). same goes for p and b, s and z, d and t, etc.
i hope this helped!

Love Armenian and Armenian people from Korea! 😉
Armenian language and culture is beautiful and many Iranians such as myself admire Armenians , and Armenian shows very clear indo-european features in its core structure, yet as far as comparative linguistics is concerned one cannot ignore the fact that Armenian together with Albanian languages demonstrate some features also differing them from other indo-european languages , I wonder whether the so called "Kartvelian languages" might have influenced it ?
Yes yes Iranian feels so much love to armenia....
sick of you....
Thank you! Im armenian
Kartvelian languages no. The Armenian language is an aboriginal language, therefore it is unique. The influence on the language came from the Sumerians, Hittites, Semites, Cimmerians, but not from the Georgians. the Georgian language adopted many Armenian words.

Love 🇦🇲 from 🇦🇿❤️. I hope, at once, both of our countries will get rid of dictators and become friends again! Since childhood, every January 20, at drawing lessons, we were forced to draw dead civilians and Armenian tanks in Karabakh. This method of propaganda has a very good effect on children, but I will never blame the civilians for anything, because we destroyed such a policy together, in the same trenches and on the same side, in Berlin, in 1945.
I just wrote a comment above highlighting the issues we Armenians face from your government and turkey right now in NK/Artsakh, because no one will talk about it, and to see this comment genuinely gives me hope. I’m horrified to hear about what your childhood consisted of, but knowing your government, I’m not surprised. I would love to have a conversation with you to learn more about what people there really think.
@@soldierside365 We are not much different - most of the national resources belong to private individuals, propaganda appeals to nationality, many had to flee the war from border villages and hear rocket explosions over cities, like me, many friends or family did not return from the war, like mine , because of which there was an even greater rise in nationalism. Everything is like in Ukraine and Russia - they call each other's peoples "untermenschs" and "not real Slavs." But we have it with Caucasian specifics, such as "earlier Turkey and Azerbaijan were Great Armenia", or "Yerevan is actually an Azerbaijani city." Perhaps the most telling example of xenophobia was the case when my Russian language teacher refused to get into a taxi with an old lady, with whom she was walking through the botanical garden, because, as it turned out, she was Armenian. This hatred is instilled in us from childhood. I was only in the second grade when we were advised to watch films and documentaries from Khojaly, on the anniversary of the tragedy, in which you could see a sea of blood and dead people. I don't want all this. Sometimes, I dream of going back to the childhood of my parents, where Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan lived peacefully in one big country and there were no conflicts between us.
We are not far. And azerian before 350 years didn't speak Turkish. They spoke with azerian language, is dieing language now. That nearly language with armenian language.
I have friends from Azerbaijan. And I want also finish this stupid war.
@@justalittlepony8525 I can’t argue with any of that. I’m grateful that there are people such as you. I hope we can all work together to bring real positive change to the region, with leaders who want the best not only for their respective countries, but the Caucasus as a whole.
@@Hasik...-...yan- what is azerian language? How 350? Turkish wasn't our language, but it was Azerbaijani( Azerbaijani branch of turkic language). Atleast make a normal research under a peaceful comment.
Love and Respect to all Armenian people from Bulgaria
I find the whole Armenian culture fascinating since I started researching it, its typical dress is very striking and its language seems beautiful to me
I really thank you Andy, I met your channel when I was interested in learning many languages and you are quite good at showing us all the languages, you do not miss one, thank you for awakening even more my love for the different languages that exist, I wish you much success on youtube
Super informative video!
I love this format, please keep on making these sort of videos focusing on culture!
That family tree at the start is rather weird. It puts Hellenic languages, Albanian and Armenian together as a branch of Indo-European that separated before Indo-Aryan languages split from Western European ones.
However, genetic research shows that the first split was between northern and southern migrations from Armenia, northward into the Caspian-pontic steppe where they mixed with the natives and formed the yamnaya, and southward where they encountered the other populations living in northern Iran at the time. Most people speaking Germanic, Celto-Italic, or Balto-Slavic languages before the colonial era are people that share some DNA with the yamnaya, meaning that the most likely option is that they got their Indo-European language from that interbred branch rather than from the root directly.
Btw, the apricot is called after armenìaca in some regional romance languages (armognan in piemontese). It seems the Greek called it armenìaca, whereas the Romans called it (mala) praecocia, precocious (apple). Praecocia/praecoquus gave us Arabic barqūq, which then with the added al- article gave us abricot, apricot, albicocca.
I am Kurdish from Iran and I think my great grandfather was Armenian who moved to Iran from turkey and he was Christian.
Whenever a kurd says he is from iran we don't claim him
🇧🇩💞🇦🇲🇮🇷🇬🇪🇹🇷
@@mirenciyano4764 why?
Is much like this Armenian
As an Iranian (Persian) I could see some similar words , here are some examples:
You/Du(Ar)/Tu(Pe)
Daughter/Duster(Ar)/Duxtár(Pe)
People/Mardik(Ar)/Márdōm(Pe)
New/Nor(Ar)/No(Pe)
Free/Azat(Ar)/Âzâd(Pe)
Teacher/Usuts'ich'(Ar)/Ustâd(Pe)
Pomegranate/Nurr(Ar)/Anâr or Nâr(Pe)
White/Spitak(Ar)/Sepid(Pe)
Cow/Kov(Ar)/Gâv(Pe)
Of course, the Indo-European languages, and Armenian Persians have been neighbors for many centuries. With love and respect from Armenian 🇦🇲❤🇮🇷.
P.S sorry for my English, I don't know it well 😅😂
It is a Parthian influence on Armenian
@@mithridatesi9981 Not at all.
Azad and Spitak yes, but majoroty is from protoIE
Naxijevan is old armenian land...
Ararat is very same mountain where Noah's Ark landed after great flood.
I served Karabakhian War as a Medic.

I dream of day there d be no war

Thank you all for these nice comments love you all! 🇦🇲❤🏳
very cool thanks.
Relatively big mistake around 6:00, the consonants marked by apostrophes in translitterations are not ejectives, they're aspirated, which is... not at all the same
It says aspirated on the phonological chart and shows the IPA the symbols for them, (/pʰ/ tʰ/ /kʰ/). They’re just romanized with the comma after, which also happens to be the IPA symbols for ejectives. Easy to mix up
Fig at 3:40 is wrong, it’s actually թուզ (t’uz). But anyway, thank you for your efforts in making this video!
Good video ❤️❤️
Next Plz make video about Georgian and about other Kartvelian languages
Systen of a Down's members are one of the most well-known Armenians in the world, though they are Armenian Americans.
Actually only phonetic difference between Georgian and Eastern Armenian are the ejective consents, Georgian has them, Armenian does not (at least the dialects I'm aware of)
The ONLY phoneme that Georgian has and Armenian does not is ყ that is pronounced like Arabic throat q.
While armenian have a lot of phonemes that does not exist in Georgian and they are: ə, f, rr, j, ja, jo, ji, je, ŋ
I like this video)
Some things I wanted to note:
2:53 there is a typo. The last string instrument is called k'anon (քանոն).
3:54 the first fruit is ծիրան/tsiran, not tsirani. Tsirani is the name of the clothes Armenian kings used to wear.
In the same part, the last fruit is called թուզ/t'uz, "nk" is some absurd google translate thing.
4:27 the first dish is lahmajo and I am not sure if it's Armenian. Harisa is a different dish and it is a cereal meal.
7:59 that goodbye is a slang version of the real one, հաջողություն/hajoghutyun, which, if translated, means "good luck" and is used with both meanings.
Very interesting ancient indoiranic language with an originale and beautiful alphabet.....
I am a speaker of a Bantu language with knowledge of English (excellent), Afrikaans (okay), some German phrases and words but I can tell Slavic, Romance, Indian languages and so on. To me, Armenian sounds like it could have been something somewhere around Baltic and Slavic, the manner it sounds. It does remind me of Slavic phonology in some way. Does anyone else get this feeling?
🇫🇷❤️🇦🇲
When they said "uluwjwumhuhwmhljunulcwhmun",that hit hard
where?
Good pronounciation on Բարև, but we mostly say Բարև ձեզ instead, it's more formal
Undergone phonetic mergers of Western Armenian aren't influence of arabic and turkish, because even 5th centurie's authors from armenian Western regions (we have of authors from Lesser Armenia and so called Bardzr Hayk) sometimes wrote words with the same phonetical specifics of today's Western Armenian.
Numbers also differ because old Armenian 7 is pronounced iothan and 10 is pronounced siun. That's a thing even most Armenians don't know.

Armenian gives very strange but kindly mountain folk vibes
In this video Armenians/Armenian language seem to have popped out from nowhere (not enough explanations). The language
spoken in the kingdom of Van ( known also
Urartu) is the direct ancestor of the current
Armenian language. The Armenian language is
the final product of the amalgamation of
different Armenian tribes' languages along the
period of several thousand years in the
Armenian highlands by testifying:
1. The existence of Urartu or Kingdom of Van
became discovery to non-Armenians through
the ancient Armenian manuscripts and by
studying Armenian language only
2. Armenia-Arminya-Urartu: it is the exact state
and geographical location and it has been used
for exactly the same nation.
The universally accepted attestation by scholars of the 6 century BC trilingual Behistun
Inscription where three different names are used
to refer to Armenians and Armenia - Harminuya
in Elamite, Urashtu in Babylonian and Armina in
old Persian (PS Armenians call themselves Hay
and the land Hayassa, Hayk, Hayastan)
3. The current Armenian language has the most
usage of the deciphered words from so-called
"Urartian language" and it is understandable to
any single Armenian speaker
Unfortunately after the Armenian Genocide,
Turkey /Turkish scholars (not only) have been
doing their best to minimize /ruin the thousands
of years existence facts and evidences of
Armenians in the Armenian highlands and to
spread distorted information about earlier
Armenian Kingdoms and Armenian people.
Hi i'm Matthew and i am komi
Komi is Uralic.. Greetings from Hungary 😊
They have the same "a" as Hungarian, very rare in other languages.
Doesn't English also have that vowel? Mostly represented by the digraph "aw" in words like "saw", "dawn", "straw" and "awesome"
Funny that this may be classified as an Indo-European language, as there's little to no similarity to most languages we're familiar with. If you showed me some samples of this language and told me it was from an Amerindian language, I'd believe you.
There are striking similarities.
Armenian "դու" has the same meaning as German "du" and they're pretty much pronounced the same. [you (Sg)]
The Armenian prefix "֊թյուն" is very similar to Latin "-tiō" which developed into "-tion" in many languages. [aboli-tion, na-tion, inven-tion]
Then the word "ու" compared to Kurdish "û" and German "und". [and]
It's easy to find similarities when you know what you have to look for.
@@sobertowelie3267 I guess there MUST be some similarities, otherwise experts wouldn't classify it as an Indo-European language, but this language is WILDLY distant from other Indo-European tongues, so distant that the words you mention could hardly be recognized even by highly trained eyes.
For instance, I searched for some words which are similar in English and Russian (Slavic) and this is what I found (with the Armenian word for the sake of comparison):
Eng: water
Russian: voda (вода)
Armenian: jur (ջուր)
Eng: brother
Russian: brat (брат)
Armenian: yeghbayr (եղբայր)
Eng: view
Russian: vid (вид)
Armenian: ditel (դիտել)
English: love
Russian: lyubov (любовь)
Amenian: ser (Սեր)
English: religion
Russian: religiya (религия)
Armenian: kron (կրոն)
English: intelligence
Russian: intellekt (интеллект)
Armenian: khelk’(խելք)
English: Armenia
Russian: Armeniya (Армения)
Armenian: Hayastan (Հայաստան)
When I heard that Armenian was related to Greek, Sanskrit, etc, I actually imagine SOME resemblance, but you can't tell the languages are related by simply looking at them, and that's what I mean, you must look deeper into the language to see the connection.
@@sobertowelie3267 I seen in a cognate list some where that the Armenian word for "unknown" was almost the same as in English. You are right about knowing where to look. And with Armenian,unlike looking at other IE languages, it's even hard to discern it by looking at the numerals one to ten,which is a somewhat obvious but oversimplified way of telling if a language is part of IE or not. Armenian and Albanian are sore thumbs somewhat,and the fact that they had influence from neighboring IE and non IE languages makes things difficult.
Please make an intro on shan tai yai language
Հստակ կասեմ, որ հայերեն ոչ մի բառ չեմ հասկանում։ Բայց ես կուզենայի, որ հայերեն խոսողը կարդա այս մեկնաբանությունը և ասի, թե արդյոք Google թարգմանիչը ներկայումս վստահելի է, թե ոչ:
Sometimes translates good, sometimes no
There was no wording error in this little Commentary. But Armenian is a very flexible language, the dialect often uses phrases. Google often translates them literally.
The grammar of the Armenian language is difficult even for Armenians The real Armenian language, which is extremely difficult, is called Grabar.
The Grabar language is still used today In churches We recite the Lord's Prayer with a grabar. And the Armenian in which to write is called Ashkarbaar in turn it is divided into Western Armenian and Eastern Armenian. You wrote the comment in the Eastern Armenian version. and during the Armenian Genocide, most of the Armenians speaking Western Armenian were massacred.
Yesss,its already true ;)

Armenian:Nor (New)
Kurdish:Nû (New)
Armenian:Azat (Free)

Armenian:Nurr (Pomegranate)
Kurdish:Hinâr/Nâr (Pomegranate)

Armenian is the most weirdest sounding Indo-European language.
Armenian Languages* not dialects.
Even Sevan Nişanyan who is Armenian linguist said that i can’t understand Hamamshen and Mesopotamian Armenian (Hatay Armenian).
just because he doesn't understand doesn't make them different languages
I am an eastern Armenian speaker and understand 70% of the dialects u mentioned and western almost fully. How come so that a Armenian linguist from Turkey doesnt understand them.
As a Turk ı find sevan nişanyan is so based.
