The Spanish language is ~1500 years old. The Armenian language didn't have its own writing system for the first ~3000 years. So dear Spanish, don't assume you're stuck with the Latin script.

@arasyayincilik @ArmenoTurkish As the second most frequent Armenian letter, with a distinctive profile, the ն is critical to our texture.

@tonogenesis @sharkafilipova Interesting what happens to auto-translators when you use a script for a language it's not used for...

Remember kids, don't make Armenian fonts with a horrible Anglo accent.

At SILICON we think: the more we empower educators/youth to engage in Digital Inclusion, the faster we become irrelevant. That's our goal

Preview: we're going to launch STEAMType, intro'ing K-12 students to Type Design

Armenian Alphabet Monument Unveiled Near European Parliament In Strasbourg
➖➖➖
A monument to the Armenian alphabet, titled “Armatagir-Script: The Power of Roots, the Strength of Dialogue,” was unveiled in Strasbourg near the European Parliament in the presence of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and European Parliament President Roberta Metsola.

Installed by the Republic of Armenia in the area adjacent to the European Parliament’s administrative building, the monument was presented as a sign of gratitude for the parliament’s continuous support, according to a readout from the Armenian Prime Minister’s Office.

The sculpture is composed of letters of the Armenian alphabet.

In her speech, Metsola said dialogue is the cornerstone of democracy and brings people together.

“That is what the European Parliament is about: building dialogue with each other, with citizens and with the world around us,” she said.

Metsola added that the depiction of the Armenian alphabet strengthens the Armenian language’s place in Europe’s rich and diverse dialogue. She also quoted Armenian poet Silva Kaputikyan: “Wherever you are, wherever you go under this moon, do not forget your mother tongue.”

Pashinyan said the creation of the Armenian alphabet in the 5th century is one of the key pillars of Armenian identity.

He added that the sculpture symbolically highlights the connection between Armenian identity and European identity, noting that speech, knowledge and written text are fundamental elements of democracy, which cannot exist without communication, writing, speeches and laws.

@HadrianHarker BTW we need separate hyphens for compound words versus line-breaks. Armenian has that!

Noticed this very cool lettering on a book from 1982. Before the rampant Latinization of Armenian.
