Covering the “It Takes a Diaspora to Raise a Language” conference
The conference brought together a diverse group of participants to explore a central question: How can the Armenian language thrive in the Diaspora? Rather than focusing on narratives of loss or decline, the conference intentionally shifted the focus to examples of innovation, creativity and success, highlighting initiatives, strategies and targeted efforts that sustain and invigorate Armenian in its literary standards, as well as in its colloquial and dialectal forms, across generations and geographies.
