When looking at maps that show the Armenian dialects in the early 20th century, they often list them in families such as "ge," "el," and "um."
The "ge" dialects are basically today's western, and the "um" eastern. I figure the "el" dialects which was the smaller group is probably lost, but was wondering what any major differences might have been.
For instance, what might the "el" conjugation of "I write" be?
(W-"ge") Yes ge krem
(E- "um") Yes grum em
(~- "El") _____________
