The Armenian language is an ancient Indo-European language spoken primarily in Armenia and by Armenian communities around the world. It has its own unique alphabet, created by Mesrop Mashtots in the early 5th century, which consists of 38 letters. The language has two main dialects: Eastern Armenian, spoken in Armenia, and Western Armenian, used by the Armenian diaspora. Armenian is rich in history and literature, with many classical texts dating back to the 5th century. It serves as a vital part of the Armenian identity, connecting people to their heritage and culture. Today, efforts are being made to preserve and promote the language among younger generations.
