hello hamshens...
i hope this is the right forum to find you...
i am armenian, and i would try to write in your dialect, but im sure you will not understand a word...i am actually quite able to understand alot of your writing, which, surprisingly brings warm feelings to my heart, knowing that we are not sooooo far appart..
so, i want to know what your opinion is regarding armenian or hamshen, or russian or turkish identity

dear hosank,
welcome to this forum, that's what it is, we are here to discuss our culture and identity. unfortunately, though, there are no simple answers (i wish!).
as for me, i consider myself an armenian with roots in pontus, historic hamshen. other people may feel more attached to the countries where they live right now, but acknowledge our common culture at the same time. i'm yet to meet anybody who would be completely indiferent
regards, and again, welcome!

Lala,
A correct conclusion, if I may say so. Understanding the Hamshen dialect requires a good knowledge of different dialects of Armenian (including regional dialects that are now disappearing), a good knowledge of vocabulary of agriculture, plants and animal in the nature, geographical features, cultural traits, architecture, religion etc. For example, even though the Western Hemshinli largely do not speak the language, their Armenian vocabulary about nature is probably more extensive than an average Armenian who is born in the city.
