  • Hopefully, those bloody xenophobes do come to widen their perspectives. The problem is, the scum like (the kocharyans, tsarikyans and their kin - really, about 95% of Armenia) capitalise on "tourism" the wrong way, not unlike most african countries.

  • hahahah the guy whit the camera talks armenian like me

  • armenian and indian as well as german and a few other languages belong to indo europian group of languages. well known fact of science. Interesting video. thank you for sharing.

  • armenians and indians are relative nations.

  • @MrRezz0 Have you ever read a single book about Armenian ethnogenesis ? I guess no !

  • @everythingisahead Armenians are old Hindi ethnic group which comes in Caucasus from India. in India there are still tribe which is called "Hyes" which is to day Armenians name.

  • @MrRezz0 What about tribal confederation Hayasa-Azzi in 16-12 centuries BC ? There are no reliable sources that would confirm that. Hays were indigenius people. Armens came from west (Balkans or Asia Minor). Thutmose III of Egypt in 1446 BC mentioned about people Ermenen and says in their land "heaven rests upon its four pillars". And word Somkheti derives from "Sukhmi" or "Sokhmi" who were tribes living along the upper Euphrates

  • @everythingisahead aaaaaaahahahhah ! omg ! i cant believe how you armenians can lie so much ! maeby Jesus was also armenian ?? ahahahaha ....... 1446 BC ??? LOOOOOOL.

  • @MrRezz0 I wrote it according to non-Armenian source. You lie when you say Armenians came from India. No, Jesus wasn't Armenian ! I didn't write such thing.

  • @everythingisahead armenians are known history falsifiers. sorry but this is known fact

  • @MrRezz0 Which I wrote is based on non-Armenian historian's book who wrote about Thutmose III. I can send you links about falsifications of Armenian history by Azerbaijani historians.

  • North Indians but not South Indians speak Indo-European languages. South Indians speak Dravidian and have nothing in common with us North Indians. In fact, North Indians have more in common with Pakistan than they do with South Indians.

  • @ArmenianWhiteKnight

    Armenian, persian, hindu and many other languages belong to the intoeuropean language family. And they have many words in common. It's almost impossible to claim where some of those words originated from. I.e. Which language

  • Where is this restaurant?

  • @chloeparfum In 2007, the address used to be Teryan 65, and their phone number was: +374 10 58 92 15. The name of the restaurant was Karma

  • @chloeparfum please some one give me address and telephone numbers of indian hotels seving pure vegetarian food 'Hindu meal' for travel to yerevan..please some one help me for address and telephone numbers....Thank you....jzpatelut...

  • @jzpatelut I'm afraid it doesn't look as though a vegetarian restaurant will be well-received by primitive, backward, moslim-influenced blockheads who can't conceive an existence without periodic animal slaughters. Do drive to Sevan in the summer - and count the plebs flaying sheep along the road. A thorough DNA research into the current Armenia's population would surely reveal substantial quantities of Mongol blood in most "armenians". I used to feel like a colonist among primitive louts there

  • @LeoInterHyenaem THANKS FOR REPLY BUT I UNDERSTAND THERE MAY BE FEW RESTAURANT SERVING HINDU(VEG.) MEAL FOR TRAVELLERS FROM MUMBAI..THANKS AGAIN...jzpatelut.....

  • @LeoInterHyenaem THANKS FOR REPLY BUT I UNDERSTAND THERE MAY BE FEW RESTAURANT SERVING HINDU(VEG.) MEAL FOR TRAVELLERS FROM MUMBAI..THANKS AGAIN...jzpatelut.......

  • @chloeparfum does this restaurant serve south indian vegetarian foods...jzpatelut...

  • @mamoka1 Thank you for mentioning so. I have heard the same from other Armenians who speak Farsi and Armenian. I celebrate the fact that we have words common in our languages that go back centuries.

    My grandma did not speak a word of Armenian, even though she was born in Anteb. I loved seeing the Indian students living in Yerevan, and showing me that living in Armenia is a good enough experience for them to learn Armenian for it.

  • @ArmenianWhiteKnight a white knight?

    this is ridiculous

  • Where did the interviewer learn Armenian? I've never really spoken with Western Armenian speakers but I know two things, Armenian (Western or Eastern, take your pick) is not his first language, and that is definitely not pure Eastern Armenian. It's closest to the Gyumri dialect, which I hear most closely resembles Western Armenian. They seem to have the must trouble with the guttural consonants (Խ and Ղ) which I suppose is understandable.

  • @Caboose127 **Just watched the rest of the video, I'm going to have to say it must be Western Armenian that's just been handed down through his family for a few generations.

  • It was pretty interesting. I've heard that we and Indians have the some same words. And we have the same musical instrument called DHOL. the same instrument and the same name. if it's interesting guys i have a video where my friends from Slavadore and Guatemala speak armenian and some russian)))) Thanks for video +5 GOOD JOB

  • The Indian restaurant owner speaks better Armenian than the interviewer. Stop sluring your words and using the word "gor". Try arevela hayeren.

  • 4:45 hndika lavel hayerena xosum parskayain chi haskanum ira accentov lool

  • i know of Ethiopian armenians in australia that are of various colour, some look more armenian than others, some of them look traditionally Ethiopian and also a armenian woman who was born and raised in India and spoke Indian. she was almost 6ft tall, skin like alabaster and dark red hair. unusual. so is it really that strange.

  • Comment removed

  • wow it's interesting, they speak Armenian without accent so I cant' say about English...

  • Comment removed

  • But anyway, I think that a lot of the words you've got up there are Persian in origin. . . such as 'hazar' and 'apsos' and was actually introduced to India during the Persianate Caliphates.

    Indians and Armenians didn't really have direct contact I think? But our communities were certainly influenced by the Persians, and consequently we loaned words from them.

  • Wrong. The first contacts between Armenian and Indian civilizations date back from 2,500 years ago, during the 5th century BC.

  • Wow, how strange.

    I am an Indian native Hindi/Urdu/Gujarati speaker myself, and didn't know that our languages have anything in common with Armenian!

    You learn something new every day. . .

  • its worth mentioning that the guy is akin questions in western armenian, thats why they had a hard time understanding him

  • really, you know how those poor people in africa are being killed? ie. rwanda. one tribe/group was having more power then he other tribe/group and the group got pissed and decided to attack the other group. in africa, there has been plenty of war and genocide just like the rest of the wolrd. there's a dictator in Zimbabwe who made it legal to beat/kill any women on the street you sea in order to reduce population. there's your poor people in africa

  • ah yeah right. every race has racists, big noses, bad drivers, weird langauges and has done some sort of terrible thing in history. name one country that hasn't and i can prove your wrong. dont give that bs that no one's welcome in Armenian cause of racism.

  • germany hasn't

  • dude, wwii nazi germany haloucoust (pardon the spelling). it still took place on german land

  • lol dude, it was a joke in the fact that germany is probably the worst offender of modern history

    Hindi is also interesting but i am more acquainted with arabic alphabet because i have learned persian and arabic before.

  • speaking hayeren? why not write the whole thing in english or armenian?

  • I think it would help if you spoke Eastern Armenian... they'd have an easier time understanding! or if Ani did this interview for you

  • I will leave your comment in, because I'm strong enough to read it, and unlike the policies of the Turkish government, I believe in free speech. The truth is stronger than your hatred, and the future is not on Turkey's side. I welcome all people who want to learn our great language. On the other hand, my grandma who was from Anteb used to speak in Turkish only because the Turkish government at the time did not allow her to speak her own native tongue.

  • Parev Mario jan. Mer badmootyoone mez hos yev hon tservets, yev oorakh em te kezi bes mege Hayereni dzanot yeghav. Hello Mario, our recent history scattered us all over the world, and I'm happy that someone like you became familiar with Armenians. We will embrace our history, recover from it emotionally, mentally, and we will get back was ours, and we will do great things in all the areas of the world where we have to share values with the co-occupiers of this world.

  • Ayo! Shnorhakalut'yun meandpepsi. Duk Unek mets sirt! You have a great heart. I will soon post video showing you my village and also the University where I study in the city and you can see my professor I will also show clips of the City in El Salvador called Armenia. Which was named in honor of an Armenian Doctor and his family in El Salvador. There are still Armenian business owners, professors,Doctors many good people in Guatemala and all Over Central America very good people.

  • its so awesome hearing other nationailities speaking armenian, it really is such a gorgeous language. and they speak it beautifully i might add!

  • The only person lacking values here is you. Armenians, all Armenians, including you, should be open minded, welcoming and tolerant people. If you want to show your superiority to others do it by displaying some personal value. It's not like you're Mesrob Mashdods. Unlike your comment, I respect your right to free speech and will not delete your entry here. I recently was in France at an Aznavour concert, and saw many Europeans saying Armenian words because of Aznavour. I loved that too.

  • Difference is Armenians have always been related to Europeans like the Greeks/Italians we are not related to the Indians. plus most of these guys learn Armenian so they can inter-marry with our beautiful women you really want that in our Family tree?

  • Mega WOW!!!

  • !!!!!!!!

  • dude the camerman can't speak shit armenian the indier talks better then he does

  • haha the second indian guy almost has no accent!

  • And as far as the superiority complex that some Eastern speakers happen to possess on this board, it's bizarre considering that it was (mostly) a mere fluke that the Yerevan dialect became the preferred dialect. It's called history. Take a look at it.

    BTW, I'm an eastern speaker. Shame on you guys.

  • I'm frankly surprised by the level of ignorance in these comments. It's not a matter of a correct or incorrect dialect of Armenian, it's a matter of embracing all of them as part and parcel of the same language. If any of you Eastern speakers were familiar with Western (and vice versa) you would understand that the differences you are expounding upon are minute and inconsequential. Unfortunately, it's easier to make comments like "the cameraman doesn't know how to speak Armenian."

  • You're an idiot. Go back to your cave.

  • And you're the quintessential Armenian? Don't talk shit. We can all do without your narrow-mindedness.

  • Actually the Armenian language is much older than Persian. It is the oldest spoken language in the world after Latin.

  • I believe that is a bit incorrect. Sanscrit and Tamil are older than Latin and therefore Armenian. But you are correct that it is somewhat older than Persian.

  • My dear friend Hamekasia! Well ofcourse you are right!

    But i dont know if we should count either Sanscrit or Latin into the category spoken languages. In the end it is a matter of the defenition of what a spoken language is.

    Is it a "spoken language" when several million people speak it? Or is it enough when its spoken in ceremonies and such? Its all a point of view i guess.

  • LOL ... patmutyun karda!

  • Rubbish!!

  • the camera guy can't speak armenian at all lol

  • hahah getine metk =P

  • if ur an armenian and think they speak better than u...getina mtek....

    I know I'm saying what everyone else is, but he speaks better Armenian than me!!

    Both the restaurant owner and student.

  • whats der to enjoy by bunch of indians tryin 2 speak armenian n you ur self didnt no anythin either

  • the camera man is a levAAAAAA aahaha cnt even speak armenian d indian speaks better daymn what a harif n disgrace

  • What cameraman are you talking about? I was a tourist who had only a couple of minutes before the student went into class, and I was rushing to drive to Sevan. I also was trying to take footage of the restaurant owner speaking in Hindi and Armenian in the same take. He had a restaurant to run, and we wanted to eat. I will never become a cameraman, but I will enjoy seeing new experiences by the Armenians who live in Armenia and abroad. It's too bad you found nothing to enjoy in all of this.

  • Why you still wondering about of indo-european languages? And Hindi belongs to indo- european language group!lol

  • Very nice video...Indian people are very nice !

  • This link is a very good Armenian font. It's lets you switch between English and Armenian by pressing Alt-Shift:

  • The indians speak much better Armenian than the interviewer, I guess Meandpepsi. LOL about half of the words spoke in English. Please, the interviewer, don't take it personal, I only compliment Indians.

  • I don't take it personal.  The students literally had few minutes before going to class, so I had to cram many questions, depending on where they went with it. I had no idea what content was going to come out. I'm not a pro. I did not know they don't know the meaning of "Vorchap aden". I got Eastern Armenians saying "Inchkan zhamanag", why don't they get "Vorchap Aden"? Hey, we had fun. My Anteptsi grandma did not speak Armenian. Seeing these guys speak Hayeren was good enough for me.

  • Nice :) . "Anteptsi grandma" ? Sorry, is Antep a city ?

  • Wow I think this is so cool

  • Ten=not Das but Tas, cheese= not Banir but panir, It's hot= not Dak but tak, Mark= not neshan but nshan.

  • The cameraman speaks Western Armenian that's why he spells it and pronounces differently.

  • the indian restaurant owner, speaks better armenian than the cameraman. sorry, bayc tenc a.

  • I agree with Magmilitum. Although it's nice to have a few students and restaurant owners in the country, they got to be careful not to open the flood gates (just keep in mind the number of people in Asia). I'd be interested to know the religious beliefs of these students. Notice in the video they were commenting on the beauty of Armenian woman. I wonder what this is alluding to...?

  • I see both your points, but it's only theoretic. Practically speaking, we are surrounded by hostile Turks on two sides. The more people get to like us and get familiar with our history and culture, the better for us. One Aznavour singing in French has done so much good for both France and Armenia. A win/win is possible today for us and other nations. Has anyone listened to the Dle Yaman by Zara, she's a Yezidi from Armenia? It's on Youtube, and it's one of the best Dle Yaman's I've heard.

  • wow, it means my Farsi is quite OK ;-))))

  • lol - sirerem - lil mumbais speaking armo - wo0t wo0t

  • Oh i remember when we were in Armenian we had a really cool Indian lady living a few houses away from us. Its cool that there is different people from different cultures living in Armenia.

    Nice Video!

  • wow nice!

  • WOW ......shad lava

  • This is REMARKABLE, and I love it; one big thing I want to see happen is the University of California to have a study abroad program with Yerevan University.

  • wery good wideo!

  • very nice

  • they are good

  • And it's so cool that those Indians as well as working in Armenia, speak Armenian so well. They live in Yerevan, and they can still understand you speaking Western Armenian so quickly. Did you say Tajar/Dajar/Temple is the same in Hindi?

  • Those similarities between Hindi and Armenian are really amazing! I would never have thought that such linguistic similarities would have survived all these millenia that the Armenian and Indian races have spent apart...or that such words would've sprung into existance and rooted themselves into each language, despite the huge geographical distance between the nations.

  • There is something else that's interesting, through centuries, the non Muslim religions in India have kept their original faith, while all other countries between India and Armenia are all Muslim. I have nothing against Islam with this reply, because because the Muslim Arabs took us Armenians in after the Genocide. The problem is with the way you practice your religion.

  • FANTASTIC Abrek bolored,,,vor hayerenk kosoom,,,abri ayn marteh vor kez negarets vor tsoos da ashkharkin,inch kagtser lezooyeh hayareh,,Thank you for this clip,it was very good well done.

  • Thank you. I had heard from others as well that there are many common words between Persian and Armenian. By the way I'm Western Armenian, and the way I learned Hayeren, that 26th letter was just like a "b' for me. It's very obvious to me that the words have been taken from each other. I've learned of other words that are common between some Arabic, some Turkish and Hindi as well, like Ganoon for law, Ganon in Armenian. Belki for maybe, yaani for it implies, bes for enough, etc.

  • very nice

  • Is it just me that finds this disturbing. I really hope Armenia does not become a multicultural country like most of Europe and the Americas, if it does we are dead as a peoples. Our braves fought and died for Armenia, they did not die so foreigners can live and claim Armenia as thier own.

  • I guess I'm biased because I made this clip, but as an Armenian American I welcome these Indian students' presence in Armenia. If your logic was applied to us when we were sent to the Arab countries, they would have kicked us out. These students love Armenia. They are not there to take over, and having a few guests will not result in them taking over. I understand your concern, but I think international presence on our land is a good thing.

  • agree

  • Excellent reply! I fully support your view. I am an Armenian American.

  • Dear "meandpepsi"

    I fully support your view! You reply

    to "Magmilitum" 's comments is EXCELLENT!

  • almost all of the students only come to armenia to study medicine because in india we have very advanced and tough entrance exams. so they study and return back as india possesses higher opportunities than america so armenians dont neet to worry abt us taking over. but yeah america and west europe needs to worry coz we ARE COMING!!!!!!!

  • woww hahahaha

  • The Indians understood though, just not a few terms like the one pointed out by Beauty.

  • But the funny thing is I easily understood Indian speaking Armenia but guys i have to concentrate a lot to read and digest what u say in Western Armenian ;-))))

  • I kept saying "vorchap aden" to mean "for how long", and I kept being corrected by my relatives saying "inchkan zhamanag". I actually tried making a better video, but I guess the failure became more entertaining.

  • so " vorchap aden" means "inchkan jamanak" wow...it is like Chinese for me lol

  • LOL Beauty. Cmon, it's not THAT hard :P Ayb Ben Gim = Ayp Pen Kim!

  • aghvor video erer ess agas, menkal essgessink hntgeren sorvil vor hntgasdan yertank neh, irenkal mezi record enen LOL. thanks for the vid.

  • lol true...India is my mum's favourite country although she has never been there..I can imagine Indians recording her while she is trying to speak Hindi...lol

  • we welcome u all

  • Itz gr8 2 see dat Desiz(Slang4Indian) & Armenianz get along good really good.

  • they speak really good and armenian is a very hard language to learn nice...

  • Armenian is not hard for people who speak Hindi. The most common verb: is, it's the same word in both languages. The sentence structure is pretty much the same too. For example in English we use the word slowly, in Armenian we repeat the word gamats - gamats, or we say arak - arak to mean faster and faster. They do the same in Hindi, repeating their adverbs, just like us. Or we do it just like them.

  • I would imagine not as difficult as Assyrian though. Many Armenians who learn/speak Assyrian typically confuse genders when they speak. That and the fact that Assyrian sounds completely different adds to the complexity.

  • At the end Indians speak with a very good command of Armenian language with almost no accent at all... to my Eastern Armenian ear lol Also the guy makes a joke "chipping in" with "barev" like we do lol

  • well, in Eastern Armenian ( unlike Western Armenian like in the box we saw) "cheese" is " panir" so it is the same with Hindu...

  • lol

  • Thank you. I did not take your comment in a wrong way. I thought you appreciated it. Next time I'm in Yerevan, I'm going to make a better, more entertaining video.

  • Yes, but when diaspora Armenians speak Arabic, English, German, French, Spanish and other languages all over the world, we speak with funny accents too. It's better to speak with an accent and connect with each other, than stay quiet and apart from each other. Mera username MeAndPepsi he, Im yoosernames MeAndPepsi e.

  • nice guys :)

  • They really speak good Armenian;-)

  • great! the young guy in the beginning starts with libraries in armenia! atmosphere wonderful, naan bread even more so...;)) only the address, meandpepsi jan, i guess it,s teryan 65. thanks to a good friend, i had the chance to visit karma restaurant too. thanks!

  • I think you're right Gugulia, about the address. Well, if people can go from California and Europe all the way to Yerevan's Teryan 60, they can find Taryan 65.  We went from Erzeroum to Der Zor to Paris, Budapest, Glendale and Rio De Janeiro. We can go from Teryan 60 to 65. I love India and the Indian people.
