Who transcribes Armenian content?
Armenian transcription is used by diaspora media outlets and broadcasters, oral history and genealogy researchers documenting family and community histories, and academics studying Armenian language and culture. NGOs, churches, and community organizations across the Armenian diaspora also transcribe interviews, sermons, and event recordings.
Armenian dialects and accents
Armenian has two modern standards: Eastern Armenian, spoken in the Republic of Armenia, Iran, Russia, and Georgia, and Western Armenian, spoken across the diaspora in Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Egypt, and the United States.
