[edit] Comment
The German wikipedia has a fairly decent article about Armenians in Central Europe (de:Armenier in Europa), it would be a good idea to translate it into English (and per haps breaking into several articles about the diffrent countries, thus starting basic stubs). Unfortunatley my German is only passive and not fluent enough for the task, but if anyone feels up to it. --212.76.33.116 22:07, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Armenian Language (Eastern Armenian & Western Armenian)
I was wondering should we also mention about the different Armenian dialects that Armenians speak (Eastern & Western Armenian)? because of the Armenian Genocide & immigration and all those reasons that certain parts of those regions use Eastern and others use Western.

- Ummm well in which country each dialect is spoken is mentioned in the Armenian language article ...there's a table on it, but i'm not sure if we should mention it or not. Maybe we could briefly mention and leave a main article link to each dialect or Armenian language. Fedayee 23:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

- I removed the table from the language article and instead included information about it here. -- Clevelander 00:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Armenians in east Asia
The Armenian population on the Armenian diaspora map is very low to measure in Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines, but was able to record small Armenian communities in China, south Korea and Thailand. Somebody needs to visit the Armenian Cemetery in Tokyo, Japan located near what was an Armenian Catholic church in the 1920's and 1930's, but it's believed they left Japan to avoid other types of persecution ("enemy nationals") in World War II. I'm unsure the current Armenian population is in Japan, but in Communist China, the governments might closed the once-thrived five centuries-old Armenian churches in the 1950's. Note the Armenian diaspora is one of the world's most dispersed ethnic and religious groups, a similar testiment to the larger and older diasporas of Jews, Assyrians, Roma (Gypsies), Greeks, the Irish, Africans in the Americas, Indians (from India and Pakistan) and east Asians (the Nisei or Japanese who live overseas, and the ethnic Chinese live in globally scattered "chinatowns"). The majority of present-day Armenians live in the former Soviet republic, however their homeland was five or six times the size of independent Armenia...and they await an official apology from Turkey over the 1910's genocides. + 63.3.14.1 06:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
