  As an Armenian with family murdered by the Turks. What was the point of this?

    Trying to help Duolingo add Armenian is something I’ve read about in 2018 or something like that, and it’s still there. They are very firmly not interested.

      Well that’s some BS. Why the fuck don’t they have Armenian? Are they Turkish run?

        I dunno, but there were plenty of volunteers. Eastern Armenian is far from a dead language after all. Especially when comparing to Icelandic or Welsh. Those are awesome languages too, though, alongside Coptic and Assyrian.

      I was also hoping they would add Afrikaans.
