The Armenian alphabet in my handwriting



A sample of my handwriting

I want to express my sincere appreciation for the example provided of your
Armenian handwriting. I am able to read Armenian printing, but the handwriting has remained mostly out of my reach. With your contribution I may eventually be able to read some family letters that are almost a century old. Once again, thanks VERY MUCH for taking the time to do that. And thanks to HyeClub Forum.

No problem mate. Can you scan these century-old letters and upload them into this thread Diranakir? I am very curious as to how the handwriting was about a 100 years ago. Of course, if you believe these letters are personal, I do not want to press you about it but if there is no problem, it would be highly appreciated and would enrich the Internet of Armenian handwriting.

As for anyone else reading this thread, I encourage you to upload your own handwritings I know we have a fresh wave of new members since this thread was created.

Hi Federate, I appreciate your interest and will do my best to post an example of the handwriting in the near future. It's a good idea. To my untrained eye I can tell that it is a different style of handwriting than those posted on this thread, at least in the case of certain letters. Maybe a little fancier.

Does everyone here use the Western Dialect/Alphabet?

Re: Armenian Script/Handwriting

We have both Western Armenians and Eastern Armenians on the forum. For the orthography, i've seen members here use both but the divide is usually Hayastantsis using Soviet reform (Apeghyan) orthography and Western Armenians and Barsgahyes using Mashdotsian (Traditional) orthography. I know how to use both but I prefer to use traditional, though when one masters traditional it does not take much to learn the reformed one.

Katy jan, Է is used for the eh sounds like in Arinberd, but NEVER use in the middle of a word, only for the start (en Espaņol como este),
Ե is used for Ye in the beginning of a word (Yev meaning And) or for E in another place.

The other one, is written as E but it's actually an uh sound, like enker, so enker is then ընկեր. The schwa is used like that.

Hope that helps you
