Ararat (language)

Ararat is an ancient language, primarily associated with the Urartian civilization, which existed around 860 to 590 BCE in what is now eastern Turkey, Armenia, and parts of Iran. This language is part of the Hurro-Urartian family and is known mainly through inscriptions and artifacts. Although it is not widely spoken today, Ararat provides valuable insights into the culture, society, and history of the Urartians. The language helps researchers understand the region's ancient scripts, religion, and interactions with neighboring civilizations, making it a significant area of study in historical linguistics and archaeology.
