It doesn't matter for us because we literally have many different accents and dialects from Eastern Armenian. I have a standard perian accent which is not much different from the other Armenians who came to Iran from Nakhichevan in 1600(bourvari, khazaztsi, bolorantsi) except for the esfahani Armenians in new Julfa who sound like New Yorkers or the wife from bobs burgers. But it is very different from the tabrizi Armenians who have been living there since the Seljuk invasion of 1071. And the western Armenians from the Ottoman Empire.

When I recorded my speech for the first time. I swear I thought that I sounded like a hobo paisa (a truly lazy cunt) despite not being from there and being raised in a place and region that doesn't have anything to do with them and where people speak in a really pleasant way, unlike paisas.
