    Neither. The root/base of the Armenian language is Aryan. In Western academia Aramaeic is not considered to be related to Armenian in any way. However, certain Armenian linguists/historians suggest that Aramaeic is a mix of ancient Armenian and a Semitic language. What made you think Arameaic is related to Armenian in the first place?

    Well, aren't all Indo-Europeans (Aryans) derived of the Armenian Highlands? Perhaps more than other Aryan nations in the Western world, Scots (Celts) have direct linguistic, physiological and cultural connections to the Armenian highlands. Read Martiros Kavukjian's monumental work titled: Armenia, Subartu and Sumer - The Indo-European Homeland and Ancient Mesopotamia.

    Words go through evolutions of sorts. This sometimes effects the pronunciation of the word other times it effects the meaning. So, in this light, the connection you just made is all that far fetched.

    Dustr/Daughter is so obvious that I simply forgot to mention it.

    I've heard that linguistically, there is a relevant amount of ancient connection that doesn't look like it's just coincidence. I don't know what to make of it though and if Armenian could explain in greater detail, I'd also be interested.
