Armenian is the official language of the Republic of Armenia and, historically, it has been spoken throughout the Armenian Highlands. The language is still spoken in the country, but also by people who are living outside of the country. There are over 1.4 million Armenians living in the United States, out of the 10 million that have moved in all the corners of the world. Many of these people have moved to the States over a century ago, but continue to speak the language within their families. Many others moved after one of the ugliest moments in history, one that is still ignored by many nations of the world. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 6 Armenian language classes in NYC.
The Armenian language is part of the Indo-European family of languages and it is most closely related to Greek. There are three known dialects, one of them, classical Armenian, dating back to the fifth century. It is mostly used by the Armenian Church. The other two modern dialects are Eastern and Western. The Eastern dialect is most often spoken in Armenia and Iran, as well as throughout the communities that emigrated to North America. The Western dialects have somewhat died out when speakers migrated to all corners of the world following the Armenian genocide.
