I don't know much about Western Armenian (Tachkahayeren means Armenian spoken in turkey - Tachkastan is Turkey), but I know there are all different kinds of dialects there too. Zeitun, Sasun, Mush, Van, etc. I love arevmtahayeren too, it's like music. What I don't like, is kicking in Russian words in eastern Armenian, and turkish and English words in western. Well, that's something one can't avoid - neighbors always have influence in all aspects of life, language inclusive.

Khac (bread) - that's Sevan-Gavar dialect. Also in some villages of Hrazdan, but there it's something between "kh" and "h"
You folks can see how rich is Armenian :-)

I've been in Fereidan district of Iran, and it seemed that their Armenian differs a bit from that of Esfahan, I've bought a dictionary of Fereidani Armenian, published in Esfahan
Boghos jan: dialects are beautiful, diversity is beautiful, is richness.

I agree with you, and in any case there is nothing we can do about it. But there is the need to some uniformity when it come to spellings for example.
I speak Western Armenian, with very little influence from any other language. This is how my grandparents, from Marash, spoke.

But all kinds of Armenian could be written as well, songs in west Armenian are more than welcome. The Anatolian Armenians can strenghten Western Armenian if they do cultural effort. But the majority of Armenians speak East Armenian.

Dear Iranyar
Lori is one of the northern province of Armenia. This is totaly different than Lori province of Iran.

Did you know according to the Assyrian cronicles the Persians were a group of Aryans who lived on North West of Media, which neighbours or overlaps contemporary Armenia? and that they afterward gradualy went down toward where is now Shiraz (=Persia)? Also East Georgian suffix of
-ant(i) is very close to the Lori suffix of vänd(i), both used for familynames! and Tat language spoken in Caucasus is very similar to Lori spoken in Iran.
I think the contacts between worlds of Zagros and Caucasus (both mountain ranges)has been more intense than what we think.

The dialect we use at home is Eastern Armenian (specifically the kind spoken in Yerevan). But since my mom's side is from Syria/Lebanon/Turkey I use the Western dialect with some of our relatives. And since my dad's side is from Iran (though originally from Shushi) I use the Iranian-Armenian dialect with them Yet, I love the Gyumri dialect and Karabagh dialect At times I love listening to my grandma speak Musa-Dagh dialect (Kesab).
Basically I love the Armenian language in all its forms
