Akn (Armenian: Ակնա բարբառ, transliterated: Aknay barpar) is a regional variety of the Armenian language historically spoken in and around the town of Akn (modern-day Kemaliye, Turkey) and its neighboring Armenian villages. It is part of the Western Armenian dialectal group, but it is distinguished by unique phonetic, grammatical, and lexical features that set it apart from other Western Armenian dialects.
