A small set of tools for Armenian writers.

Hayadar is a free, community-made home for Armenian language utilities.

The Story

The idea of "Hayadar" was born a while back when writing Armenian, in Armenian Letters, was not accessible. I'm talking about the time when the Armenian keyboard wasn't embedded in any operating system & we couldn’t dream about writing in Armenian on our phones.

After many attempts & various discussions with many people specialized in both Tech & Armenian Literature I realized that the idea itself wasn’t that unique, that many attempts were made & failed, and because of the complexity of the Armenian Language, this isn’t feasible.

And then came the “eureka” moment! I came up with a programing logic that made things possible. A “good enough” version was developed, put to test, improved & launched. This was Hayadar.com beta

After a short period, it came to my attention that in Diaspora, every region transliterates words differently. Let alone the merged influence of Western & Eastern Armenian.

Then I started to work on a more complex & better version of the algorithm, that could handle all the different transliteration styles, and also be able to learn from the users’ feedback. This was Hayadar.com v1.0 & the rest is history

Version History

v 3.0

A completly revamped version of Hayadar, both as a design & algorithm.

More than 1,600,000 correctly spelled words, names & last names.

Unicode to ARMSCII converter

v 2.0

And now, it is the time for Hayadar.com v2!

With more than 200,000 correctly spelled words, I believe Hayadar is in a stage to move to the next phase of the project.

Then came Hayadar v1.1 with more improvements & all the words were correctly spelled.

Since then the project got a few & minor updates, mainly new words were dumped into the system.

v 1.0

The algorithm was improved & Hayadar v 1.0 was launched.
