The script is notable for its elegant appearance and functional design, allowing for accurate representation of the spoken language. It has played a crucial role in Armenian identity and culture, serving as a means of preserving literature, religion, and history. The Armenian alphabet has undergone minor modifications over the centuries but remains a symbol of national pride for Armenians.
