   Which one do I choose?

   Classical Armenian orthography (also known as traditional or Mesrobian orthography) is the spelling system used in the Armenian diaspora, including Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.

   Reformed Armenian orthography (also known as Soviet Armenian orthography) is the result of spelling reforms in the 1920s in Soviet Armenia; it is the predominant spelling system used today in the Republic of Armenia and the former Soviet Union.

   Note: If you’re not reading this from within Firefox, copy-paste the appropriate link from above into Firefox's Location Bar and press Enter or click the Go button.
