ArchivesArmenian script is different than Cyrillic
in reply to a message by Sabrina
Armenian does not use Cyrillic. Armenian script is used for Armenian.

That's interesting. I apologize if I have made a mistake. I was under the impression that the correspondence my Russian-born, half-Armenian grandfather received from his sister was written in Armenian using Russian characters. Perhaps it's an anomaly, or perhaps I was mistaken. Either way, the transliteration thing still holds, regardless of the characters used.

It is not unusual that speakers of a language educated in other languages with a different alphabet use those writting systems to write their own language. Probably your grandfather and his sister were only alphabetised in Cyrillic, so that was the system used.
