    A PAN-DIASPORA CONSULTATION ON THE
    "STATUS OF WESTERN ARMENIAN LANGUAGE IN THE DIASPORA TODAY" WILL BE HELD IN
    ANTELIAS

    His Holiness Aram I has nominated a committee to prepare the third
    Consultation on the theme of "Western Armenian language and Armenian Studies
    Today", to be held in Antelias 14-16 September2010. These series of
    consultations have been organized in cooperation with the Armenian Affairs
    Department of the Gulbenkian Foundation. The first conference was held in
    2004 on the theme "Armenian Studies in the Diaspora"" and the second in 2008
    on "Teaching Armenian History and Language in the Diaspora".

    The purpose of the forthcoming consultation is to analyze the usage of
    Western Armenian in the diaspora today and its mutation by foreign
    languages. Like many other languages, Armenian is being influenced by the
    local languages where the diaspora communities live, and by the need to
    create new vocabulary to keep pace with the advancement of science and
    technology.

    A large number of linguists, professors of Armenian Language and Literature
    and representatives of educational institutions have been invited to take
    part in this important event.
