Armenian Language and Certified Translation Services by ANZ Translation UK

Armenian is an ancient Indo-European language, unique to the Armenian people, with a rich history that dates back over 1,500 years. It is the official language of Armenia and is spoken by approximately 6 million people worldwide, including communities in countries such as Russia, Iran, the United States, and France. Armenian is known for its distinctive script, which was developed by the linguist Mesrop Mashtots in the early 5th century. The Armenian alphabet consists of 38 letters and has remained largely unchanged since its creation.

The language has two primary dialects: Eastern Armenian, spoken mainly in Armenia and parts of Iran, and Western Armenian, which is predominantly used by the Armenian diaspora. These dialects differ in pronunciation, vocabulary, and some grammatical structures, reflecting the diverse cultural influences on the Armenian people throughout history.

Armenian literature has a rich tradition, encompassing poetry, prose, and historical writings, much of which has contributed to the preservation of Armenian identity and culture, especially during challenging periods in history, such as the Armenian Genocide. Today, Armenian continues to be a vital component of the nation’s cultural heritage, used in education, media, and daily communication.

As the global Armenian community continues to grow, so does the need for professional translation services. Accurate translation is essential for various applications, including immigration, legal documents, academic records, and personal communications.
