    Sounds like a Georgian/Persian mix to me.

    Second, I nominate you to be the Armenian moderator.
    That makes sense, but it disperses comments into two threads. I'll vote in both threads.

    Thank You, I'd probably accept it, but you might be a better candidate. You're a very productive member, with a huge post count, after only a few weeks. It's true that I'm a scholar of Armenian history, and political matters, but you are very well informed too. My knowledge of the Armenian language is extremely limited. Do you speak fluent Armenian?

    Perhaps so, especially because of the alphabet, sentence structure and grammar. There is some overlapping, because of words that are shared in the vocabularies of both languages.

    Serious Question: What else differentiates them?

    Yes as you say.Vocabulary and structure are worlds apart imo. These are the most striking differences.

    It doesn't sound very different from Turkish despite being unrelated.

    Yes of course I speak, read, and write in Armenian.
    Thank you for the kind words and support. I appreciate that.
    I am glad to learn that you are a scholar.
