Armenian Transliteration Online
Convert Armenian script into Latin letters using Eastern, Western or Hübschmann-Meillet romanization. Eastern and Western methods can also convert Latin translit back to Armenian; H-M is Armenian-to-Latin only.
Armenian to Latin transliteration
Convert Armenian letters into Latin characters for reading, cataloguing, names, references or technical systems. The output depends on the selected method because Armenian romanization is not the same in all traditions.
Eastern and Western Armenian transliteration
Eastern Armenian and Western Armenian pronounce several letters differently. Because of this, the same Armenian word may have different Latin forms depending on whether the selected method follows Eastern or Western pronunciation.
Latin to Armenian conversion
Eastern and Western modes can convert Latin translit back into Armenian script. Reverse conversion is approximate because several Latin combinations can point to more than one Armenian letter.
Hübschmann-Meillet Armenian romanization
Hübschmann-Meillet is a scholarly romanization system used in linguistics and historical studies. It uses special signs and is intended for Armenian-to-Latin romanization, not casual reverse typing.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Armenian translation?
No. It converts Armenian letters into Latin letters and, for supported methods, Latin translit back into Armenian script. It does not translate Armenian words into English.
What is the difference between Eastern and Western Armenian transliteration?
Eastern and Western Armenian have different pronunciation patterns. Some Armenian letters are romanized differently depending on the selected tradition, so choose the method that matches your audience or source text.
Can I convert Latin translit back to Armenian?
Yes, Eastern and Western modes support Latin-to-Armenian conversion. The result is approximate because Armenian reverse transliteration can be ambiguous. H-M is Armenian-to-Latin only.
What is Hübschmann-Meillet transliteration?
Hübschmann-Meillet is a scholarly romanization system for Armenian. It is useful for linguistic and historical work, but it is not the best choice for casual typing or URL slugs.
Which Armenian transliteration method should I use?
Use Eastern for modern Eastern Armenian, Western for Western Armenian or diaspora contexts, and H-M for scholarly references. If you only need a readable name spelling, Eastern or Western is usually more practical than H-M.
Can I use Armenian transliteration for names and documents?
Use it only as a reference. Official spellings may depend on passport, immigration, registry or institutional rules and should be checked with the relevant authority.
Can I use Armenian transliteration for URLs?
Yes, but use a simplified readable form rather than a scholarly method with special characters. Lowercase the result, remove punctuation and separate words with hyphens.
