Despite the unsuccessful efforts of many
Turkish/Kurdish and also Georgian so
called "researchers/scholars", the language
spoken in the kingdom of Van ( known also
Urartu) is the direct ancestor of the current
Armenian language. The Armenian language is
the final product of the amalgamation of
different Armenian tribes' languages along the
period of several thousand years in the
Armenian highlands by testifying:
1. The existence of Urartu or Kingdom of Van
became discovery to non-Armenians through
the ancient Armenian manuscripts and by
studying Armenian language only
2. Armenia-Arminya-Urartu: it is the exact state
and geographical location and it has been used
for exactly the same nation.
The universally accepted attestation by scholars of the 6 century BC trilingual Behistun
Inscription where three different names are used
to refer to Armenians and Armenia - Harminuya
in Elamite, Urashtu in Babylonian and Armina in
old Persian (PS Armenians call themselves Hay
and the land Hayassa, Hayk Hayastan)
3. The current Armenian language has the most
usage of the deciphered words from so-called
"Urartian language" and it is understandable to
any single Armenian speaker
Unfortunately after the Armenian Genocide,
Turkey /Turkish scholars (not only) have been
doing their best to minimize /ruin the thousands
of years existence facts and evidences of
Armenians in the Armenian highlands and to
spread distorted information about earlier
Armenian Kingdoms and Armenian people.
Georgians together with other Caucasian nations support such theories as they have been trying to prove the direct relationship between the Georgian language and Araratian language in-spite of the continuous failures. As Heinrich Hubschmann would say in his writings that Armenia as a state was a stronger and richer power for hundreds of years than Georgia and as a rule, the weaker nations are keen on taking loan words from stronger states.

There are many Indo-European-Armenian words in the Urartian language, maybe there is a connection with Hurrian because of some words in the clinopichi, but in the end the time may come when it turns out that this is an ancient Armenian language.

Urartu is language of ancient Circassian people. It has been solved. Not related with Armenia. Armenia is a Indo Europian language.

In my own research I found that the name of the region called 'Urartu' by the Assyrians was actually known by the name 'Biainil/Biainili . If one dissects this word it is traceable to two separate languages (Greek and Hebrew), which demonstrates that these ancient people borrowed from other languages and customs, much like in America where this name was derived from the explorer and merchant 'Amerigo Vespucci', a native of Italy. As these emerging nations carried on commerce with their neighbors they surely shared their language and customs by means of emissaries, interpreters and merchants.

URARTU ARARAT 5 000 Years. ( URARTU ). ARATA Summer 5 000 Years

[bobsmith]

Scholars (such as Armen Petrosyan) have actually theorized that some of these words--such as artsiv--were loanwords FROM Armenian into Urartian and not vice versa (other Armenian loanwords INTO Urartian being the name of the Urartian kings Argishti and possibly also Aram/Aramu). It seems that Armenian speakers were living in the Urartian kingdom CO-CURRENTLY with Urartians or at least in contact with them. If some of the Nariri tribes were Armenian speakers, if Armenians are Hayasans, Mushkis, or Etuini, or if the Urartians called anybody living in the regions just west of the Urartian kingdom "Hittites" it is very possible that Urartian speakers and Armenian speakers lived together or at least interacted with one another.

Not Urartu..Aratrat, which later became Arawrat, and later Ararat..It is not the sin of this word that surrounding monkeys 🐒 of all the kinds couldn't read this word properly.This word exists even in Latin language in many forms :aratrum, arare, aratrus and so on.Chechens appeared in History only in 12 century, as a branch of Huns(sino-Tibetan family).

at 2:14 i disagree, its old version of Armenian language. before you made this video you should have spoken with ARTAK movsesyan, maybe he would have given you the lexicon of Urartian and Armenian in which you will see the similarities .

10/10, if had subtitles it would be 11

URARTU language was chechen language. It is not armenian language, if there are some words in armenian from urartu language it does not mean that it is same language. Chechens are very old people of Caucasus. Armenian language has totally different structure.

I had to change the playback speed to make it faster. It's perfect on 1, 25x

[binyersno]

Urartu wasn’t Armenia, it’s not true. Then language was pretty close to the Chechen (nohchiy) language

[diamonia]

Urartu lang = ural-altay lang family... similar turkish, khazak, azerbaijan, checenia, ingusetia...hurris not armenian. Proto caucasian iskit or turks...Armenian lang india-europe lang family. Thats true

[ogtayskingdom]

Urartu was the Chechen country. Chechen people live in the north caucasus.
