  1. Իշ տար ես? (How are you)… This is how you are greeted in Yeghegnadzor. Many of the villages and towns around Yeghegnadzor, Armenia are made of Armenians who returned to Armenia from Salmast and Khoy after the Russians signed the Turkmenchay treaty (1828) with the Persians.
    These people are very proud to call themselves Khoyetsis and Salmastsis and still speak the dialect.
    Thank you Professor Vaux for conducting this research, and thank you for the Salmast Association to have maintained their dialect in Glendale. Please come and visit us in Yeghegnadzor to see for yourself what these people have achieved

  2. “Returned to Armenia”? Khoy and Salmast were just as much a part of historic Armenia as the Erivan Governorate of the Russian Empire.
