The Armenian people have been Christianized since Early in the 4th century and are typically considered the first nation to officially adopt Christianity. The original Armenians must have been very adventurous. Their brothers, i.e. the other Indo-European tribes, went towards north or south, towards more fertile areas in Europe and India, while some decided to stay in Persia. But these Armenians went even further, in the heart of these impassable mountain regions and climbed as high as they could.\u201D -M. E.

Armenian is an Indo-European language isolate. It has two intelligible and written forms: Eastern Armenian, today spoken mainly in Armenia, Iran and the former Soviet republics, and Western Armenian, used in the historical Western Armenia and, after the Armenian Genocide, primarily amongst the Armenian diaspora.
