EDIT The Armenian script is only used to write the Armenian language. The creator of the Armenian alphabet was the Armenian monk Saint Mesrop Mashtots around 406 AD. He was a cleric at the Armenian royal court and needed the letters to translate the bible. Before, the Armenian language was spoken but never recorded in writing, and linguists say it is one of the oldest alphabets still in use today. The shape of the letters indicate the Greek and possibly the Iranian script as a template, although Pahlavi, Syriac, and Phoenician scripts have also been suggested as possible origins.
There are two main dialects of Armenian, Western and Eastern, and their pronounciation of the letters differs slightly.
There are some Armenian ligatures (U+FB13 to U+FB17) in the block »Alphabetic Presentation forms«.
