Alternate name in Georgian on website
Arman Martirosyan, Thu, 2022-09-08 07:41
Regarding:
Alternate NamesISO 639-3:
hyeThe alternate name of Armenian in the Georgian language is "სომხური ენა" (Somkhuri ena), with "ena" meaning "language". On the website, the two components (Somkhuri // ena) are written separately.
Also, the Armenian word for "Armenian" is transcribed as "Haieren" in the alternate names section, but as "Hayeren" in the autonym section. The Armenian spelling of the word is "հայերեն", and the correct transcription would be "Hayeren" ("յ" = "y").
Editorial Action
We will update the language names for Armenian [hye] in Armenia, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.
