About Armenian
Armenian is written in the Armenian alphabet from left to right. It was designed to fit the sounds of Armenian exactly, so each letter has one sound; there are separate letters for aspirated sounds such as փ (pʰ) and թ (tʰ). The ligature և (ev, "and") is written as one letter, and the Armenian full stop is ։.
