That is how we say “hello”
here in Armenia. Shnorhagallem
for coming by! Armenian is spoken by
approximately six million people around the world.
Nearly half of those live in my country, which has a

country and you will see Yerevan. This is our capital city,
and is one of the oldest cities in the world. We were the first
nation to adopt Christianity, way back in the 4th century! Our
major religions are Armenian Apostolic, Christian, and Yezidi.
Khanaghutyun to you.

in the country. This is the area where Noah’s ark
came to rest after the Flood.
If you need to find a place that serves
sandwiches or coffee, look for a chasharan. It’s
what you might say is a typical café, Armenian
style. And try not to yawn while talking to the
people who are there. It’s considered very rude!
If you like fruit, the apricots grown here are
considered the best tasting in the world! And
if you fancy some dessert, the bakeries, called
entrikners, sell the usual cakes and cookies, as
well as traditional walnut and honey treats and
Christmas pastries called gata.
The Armenian language has borrowed many
words from Greek, Persian, Russian, and
Turkish.
Since about A.D. 400 we have had our own
distinct language and alphabet.
They have found ancient cuneiform writings
here that use pictures to communicate, rather
than letters. This shows just how long ago
people have lived here!

Saying hello from Bangladesh!
I speak Bengali, along with over 200 million
other people from around the world, about half of
whom live here in my country. If you look in the center

our country we have 158,065,841 people, and the major
religions are Muslim, Hindu, and a few others. We are known
for our wonderful teas that we ship around the world.
Dhanyabad for stopping by! Shanti to you and your family.
Accha, friend!!!
Our country, known offi cially as the Republic of
Bangladesh, became recognized as a nation in
1971. The word “Bengali” in English relates to all
of us who speak the language, as well as to the
language itself.
All of our Bengali literature was in rhymed
verse if written prior to the 19th century.
Bangladesh has a coastal mangrove forest,
which is part of the Sundarbans National Park,
and is one of the largest such forests in the
world.
The Nobel Peace Prize was given to the
Grameen Bank in Bangladesh for its help
in providing assistance to many of the
poor in the country, especially many of our
impoverished women.
The people here eat a lot of fish and rice, and
sometimes because of rice farming, weather,
and other natural conditions, as much as 80
percent of our land can be covered in water.
Also, we use a lot of spices to flavor our food,
but some favorites include coriander, cumin,
garlic, ginger, and turmeric.
A handful of love is better than
an oven full of bread.
