Classification des dialectes arméniens (Classification of Armenian dialects) is a 1909 book by the Armenian linguist Hrachia Acharian, published in Paris. It is Acharian's translation into French of his original work Հայ Բարբառագիտութիւն (Armenian Dialectology) that was later published as a book in 1911 in Moscow and New Nakhichevan. The French translation lacks the dialectal examples.
Unlike the traditional division of Armenian into two dialects (Western Armenian and Eastern Armenian), he divided Armenian into three main dialects based on the present and imperfect indicative particles that were used. He called as the -owm (-ում) dialects, -gë (-կը) dialects, and -el (-ել) dialects. The three major dialects were further divided into subdialects.[1] The book is one of the few reliable sources of Armenian dialects that existed at the time.
After the Armenian genocide, linguists Gevorg Jahukyan, Jos Weitenberg, Bert Vaux and Hrach Martirosyan have extended the understanding of Armenian dialects.
