Armenian (hayeren) is an Indo-European language not related closely to any other language. It is spoken by the Armenian people in the Republic of Armenia, Georgia, Nagorno-Karabakh and also by the Armenian diaspora all over the world. The estimate of speakers is 7 million.

It is divided into two main dialects: Western and Eastern. Eastern Armenian and its minor dialects are used by the Armenians living in Armenia. Western dialect is spoken by the members of Armenian diaspora whose ancestors fled Western Armenia (now in Turkey) as a result of Armenian Genocide.

This phrasebook deals with the Eastern dialect, which is the official language of Armenia.

One important thing: in Armenian there are two ways of addressing people, informal and formal, like in German, French or Russian. For formal address the plural form of second person (pronoun դուք (douq)) should be used, while the informal is pronoun դու (doo).

Please note that very few people in Armenia speak English, but almost everyone perfectly knows Russian. People have no problems speaking that language (with a slightly guttural accent), but learning a couple of expressions in Armenian will still not only turn useful in practice but also will the hearts of already hospitable Armenians.
