Introduction
The two languages being compared are the Standard American English (SAE) and
Armenian. SAE typically refers to a variety of English Language that is usually taught in
American schools and used in Professional communications (Wolfram & Schilling, 2015).
Besides, it is spoken most parts of United States. The English Alphabet is a Latin alphabet that
consists of 26 letters. SAE which is also known as American Standard English, General
American English or Edited American English includes both the written and spoken English.
SAE, when used in describing accents, means American English that is spoken with no presence
of any clear regional dialect markers. On the other hand, the Armenian language falls under the
Satem group of the Indo-European type of languages. The Armenian Language is widely spoken

California and other states like Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. The language has its
own alphabet known as the Armenian alphabet that originally had 36 letters and two more were
added later on partially based on Greek letters.
