No hay documentación acerca del armenio antes del siglo V d. de J. C. Hubo una fuerte influencia iraní en el vocabulario, porque Armenia fue dominada por una aristocracia parta desde el año 66 hasta el año 387 d.

There are no documents about the Armenian language before the fifth century A.D. There was a strong Iranian influence on the vocabulary, because Armenia was dominated by a Parthian aristocracy since 66 to 387 A.D. When the comparative grammar of the Indo-European languages was carried out, it was thought that the Armenian language should be added to the Iranian group. However, the German linguist whose name was H. Hübschmann showed that the Armenian group was independent from the other ones. There is no neighboring group having a close relationship to the Armenian one as there is between the Baltic and the Slavic groups or between the Latin and Celtic ones. In other words, the Armenian language is isolated in the Indo-European family. Maybe this isolation would come to an end if the languages pertaining to two peoples were to be known a little better. Those two peoples had settled down in the north of the Hellenic civilization and their names were: (1) Thracian-Phrygian and (2) Macedonian. Unfortunately, only rare linguistic documents (glosses and proper nouns in Thracian and Phrygian languages respectively) have survived to this day. Nonetheless, it is an Indo-European language, no doubt about it. The Macedonian language is not known in depth yet. Certain linguists tend to see in it a particular form (and quite divergent indeed) of the Hellenic group. By the way, let us study the Hellenic group now.
