The Armenian alphabet is a unique writing system created in 405 AD by the scholar Mesrop Mashtots. It consists of 38 letters, designed to represent the sounds of the Armenian language. The alphabet has undergone some changes over the centuries, but it remains a vital part of Armenian culture and identity. The letters of the Armenian alphabet are divided into two groups: the uppercase and lowercase forms. Each letter has a distinct shape and sound, contributing to the rich phonetic structure of the language. The alphabet is used not only in Armenia but also by Armenian communities worldwide.
