SAS Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Այսօր կարդում էի Հրաչյա Աճառյանի նամակները: Խոսելով հայ բարբառների մասին, նա, ի մեջ այլոց, հիշում է նաև ... «գրաբարախոս հնդկահայերին»: Մի՞թե գտնվելով մեկուսացած վիճակում, նրանք երկար ժամանակ պահել են հին հայերենը: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Այսօր կարդում էի Հրաչյա Աճառյանի նամակները: Խոսելով հայ բարբառների մասին, նա, ի մեջ այլոց, հիշում է նաև ... «գրաբարախոս հնդկահայերին»: Մի՞թե գտնվելով մեկուսացած վիճակում, նրանք երկար ժամանակ պահել են հին հայերենը: Նրանք գաղթել են Նոր Ջուղհայից, Իրանից, հետեւաբար՝ խօսել են պարսկահայերի գործածած բարբառները: Գուցէ՞ Աճառեանը նկատի ունեցել է գրաբարեան ձեւեր շատ ունեցող մի բարբառ, նկատի առած, որ որոշ թուականում անջատուել են մնացեալից ու գրեթէ պահել հինը: Կամ էլ ընդհանրապէս մոռացել են աշխարհաբար հայերէնը, ու դպրանոցներում սովորել միա'յն գրաբարը: Edited November 13, 2008 by Johannes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizchater Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi all Sorry, I'm afraid to my eternal shame I don't speak or read Armenian! I know it was a while ago, but the trip to India by His Holiness was a tremendous success. I speak as one of the team who helped organise the events for the Armenian Church in Kolkata. Unfortunately, there have been no official press releases on the 300th celebrations events from either the Armenian church in India, or Etchmiadzin, although as you know a press release was issued regarding the re-consecration of the the church in Chennai. However, I can report that His Holiness was kept extremely busy whilst he and his entourage were in Kolkata and I am sure they all took away their own special memories of that unique occasion - I know I certainly did and many people around the world did too. There are various photo sharing website such as Piccasa and Flickr that have photos uploaded to them, all of which I believe are freely available for public viewing. If anyone is interested in further details of exactly what went on, then I can give you my personal view point - but I suspect that it is so far in the past now, that other things have probably taken over in interest and importance. But suffice it to say the whole thing was excellent best wishes Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
