The Armenian alphabet was invented by Saint Mesrop Mashtots in the early 5th century, around 405 AD. Mashtots, a linguist and scholar, created the alphabet to provide the Armenian people with a written language, facilitating the translation of religious texts and the promotion of literacy. The alphabet consists of 36 letters and has played a crucial role in preserving Armenian culture and identity throughout history.
