| Question: according to

| according to
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_language

The wikipedia entry seems reasonably accurate to me. Obviously the Eastern version is more homogeneous, while the Western version is the diaspora tongue and as such is inheriting from the country languages where it is used, even if originally it had many Turkish borrowings based on the situation that most of the diaspora folks came from Turkey, especially the Istanbul area.
