    Intonation wise it's like Georgian. Then the big difference is words ending with consonants that are very common unlike in Georgian. So I would say that it sounds grumpier compared to Georgian.

    Thanks.

    Well, to a person like me who had never heard Armenian before, it sounds nicely, like a mixture of Greek (mainly phonetically) and a Slavic language (mainly in intonation and in some phonemes), only that I can't understand one single word.

    Spit it out Hess, as I respect you for being conscious anti-turkish preservationist I can take some small amouths of shit-talking

    But seriously personally I think the old Iranian(new one is pretty Arabic influenced) & the Greek are the closest ones.

    I think you'are right on Slavic intonations, there's something left from USSR, it was the fashion back then to speak with a little bit Russian intonation, that's why I have posted folk songs as my primary example

    It makes sense that it would sound like a language in between Persian and Greek. With some Caucasian influences thrown in as well...

    Ancient as it gets.Many Armenian words have a clear resemblance to words from the Akkadian, Aramaic, Arabic, Hittite and Hurrian languages. I wouldn't be surprised if it sounds like the ancient Babylonian language(of course nobody knows how exactly this language sounded)I had a classmate who was 1/2 Armenian.His grandmother taught him how to say.. "The pasta will burn out in the oven"" in Armenian.She made fun that by the time you say that in Armenian It will be already burnt....I don't know whether It was true or not...
