Hallo zusammen! Ich bin Armenier und ich bin wirklich neugierig, wie unsere Sprache für euch klingt. Wie würden Sie seine Qualitäten und Klangmuster beschreiben? Welche Eigenschaften hat es? Würden Sie sagen, dass es irgendwie nach Georgisch klingt?
Für mich persönlich klingt Georgisch manchmal wie Armenisch. Es klingt wie Armenisch, aber mit anderen Worten, als ob ich es verstehen sollte, es aber nicht kann. Es gab Zeiten, in denen ich es passiv gehört habe und es mir wirklich bekannt vorkam, aber ein paar Sekunden später wurde mir klar, dass es eigentlich nicht meine Sprache ist. Die einzelnen Laute, die Betonung und bestimmte Silben sind sich unheimlich ähnlich. Wir haben beide viele Wörter, die auf -is, -es, -as, -isa, -its, -eli, -ali, -av, -en usw. enden. Georgische Wörter wie "es war" Und "pekhburtits" klingen, als könnten sie armenisch sein, und armenische Wörter wie "Sarsapali" Und "davach’anetsi" klingen, als könnten sie georgisch sein. Und tatsächlich gibt es eine ganze Menge gemeinsamer Vokabeln zwischen den beiden: nush(i), artsiv(i), karak(i) usw. Ich habe auch das Gefühl, dass Georgisch und Armenisch an derselben Stelle im Hals entstehen. Ja, sie sind nicht genau gleich, aber irgendetwas an der Intonation und dem Akzent fühlt sich für mich sehr ähnlich an. Hören Sie zu, wie Georgier und Armenier die Sprache des anderen sprechen; Die Akzente werden sehr nahe beieinander liegen.
Für mich sind sie wie alternative Universumsversionen voneinander – fast identische Klänge, ähnliche rhythmische Muster, aber völlig unterschiedlicher Wortschatz und Grammatik. Glaubst du, dass sie überhaupt ähnlich klingen? Ich hinterlasse Links zu Hörbüchern in jeder Sprache, falls jemand zuhören möchte. Danke!!

How does Armenian sound to Georgians?

I’ll be honest, Armenian does not sound Georgian to me at all other than random Iranian or Turkic or mutual loan words here and there.
The flow of sentences feels significantly different in a way that is hard to describe, in addition to the fact that the general intonation is also very different.
This makes sense considering the fact that not only are they from different language families but Georgian unlike Armenian is also completely non-indoeuropean.
I think the more you learn Georgian the more different it sounds, because from a neutral position of ignorance any consonant heavy language can sound similar, but once you actually know the language the way you perceive it changes in your head.
Does not sound like Georgian to me but I think it would sound similar to someone who does not speak either language.
I know that some georgians think Armenian accent is similar to georgian one, kinda like how georgian would sound to someone which doesn’t speak the language.
We both have the kh ch’ ts’ galore so if my hearing is muffled and I distantly hear armenian, I might at first think that it’s geo, until I realize that I don’t understand anything
As a georgian armenian sounds very awkward to my ear, filled with „q“ and „ch“ sounds. I was raised in samtskhe and constantly heard it there, it never sounded like georgian, but it didn’t sound beautiful either. The consonant heavy words might sound the same for foreigner, but as a georgian it never sounded same to me. Even „kh“ and „ch“ sounds are different between two languages.
The word you’re looking for is “Sprachbund”, it’ll explain what you hear most precisely. The first time I was to Armenia, I often had a nagging feeling that I’m supposed to understand what I hear and yet I don’t. On a less serious note, personally I hear the accent as either someone complaining or bragging, almost no in-betweens
I don’t write this to offend, but Armenian doesn’t have anything to do with Georgian. It seems like a rather awkward and ugly language to a Georgian, and it also sounds very comical to our ears because of the Armenian accent.
And anyone who says that these two languages are even slightly similar either doesn’t know Georgian or hasn’t heard Armenian.
In general, many languages sound ugly to the Georgian ear, even Persian, for example. It’s just that there are Persianophiles, especially among the older generation, due to Soviet influence, and they deny this, but let any Georgian here listen to Persian and they will honestly say that it is an ugly language to the Georgian ear.
Some people also reject it due to global trends, but to the Georgian ear, the English language is more beautiful than French and Spanish, and English is not perceived as foreign to the Georgian ear, and this is not due to habituation.
Georgians aren’t good audience to ask if Armenian and Georgian sound similar.
We simply can’t catch the similarities or differences because it’s our native language and we focus on understanding content instead of listening to sounds. That’s simply beyond human ability to ignore context when you actually know the language.
Therefore I can’t say if they sound similar or not. So can’t any other person who speaks either Armenian or Georgian.
When I talk to Armenians, their accent in English is identical to Georgian accent but that doesn’t mean much. For example heavy Polish accent im English sounds like Italian accent but these two languages aren’t similar at all
Sounds more familiar than other language groups.
Also correct me if I’m wrong but its easier to learn Armenian, Turkish to Georgians and vice a versa
