[edit] Lemma

I understand the need to disambiguate from the (Balkan) Albanian alphabet, but "Albania alphabet" (as opposed to "Albanian alphabet") sounds wrong to me. How about moving this to Aluan alphabet, Caucasian Albanian alphabet, Alphabet of Caucasian Albania(-ns) or Albanian alphabet of Caucasia? Wikipeditor 23:43, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

We need to merge these two articles into one. Caucasian Albanian alphabet or Alphabet of Caucasian Albania are better titles. Grandmaster 08:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I suggest merging this article into Armenian alphabet, because I fluently speak Armenian, and I know the Armenian alphabet very well, every single letter was identical to an Armenian letter and so was the pronounciation. "The Caucasian ALbanian alphabet was created by Mesrob Mashdotz" that is historically inaccurate and is bullshit, because Mesrob Mashdotz created Armenian and Georgian alphabets and the Albanians are Armenians, if not then the people who inhabited their lands were Armenian and they used the Armenian alphabet and inscribed them onto the historical artifacts we now find. That is why Azerbaijani's are trying to create a seperate section for Caucasian Albanians and there language to set the "Azerbaijani History" aside from Armenian history. If you disagree please TRY to prove me wrong go ahead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.174.192.171 (talk) 04:31, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

The article says that an ancient document compared several alphabets, including the Albanian and the Armenian ones. So they logically cannot be the same, as no one would compare a thing with itself. Q.E.D. — N-true 12:21, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I have moved this to Old Udi script. That is the language it was used to write. This name avoids the confusion of Albanian associations. I discussed this name with Prof. Jost Gippert, who will soon publish his edition of the text. -- Evertype·✆ 00:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
