Little attention has been paid to the study of specific borrowings in Armenian linguistics. They are also called foreign words, loanwords, or exoticisms. Exoticisms are usually used when referring to phenomena (realia) characteristic of a particular people, relating to its history, geography, and customs. They are found mainly in translated literature, the press, or in works dedicated to that nation - historical works, textbooks, etc. These borrowings can be classified according to various characteristics – origin, semantic groups, frequency, time, etc.
Among the exoticisms that have penetrated the Armenian language, a significant number are words from the semantic group "form of address - rank - title" borrowed from various languages - Russian, Turkish, Iranian, Arabic and European. The article examines for the first time the borrowed words of the semantic group "form of address - rank - title" that passed from Iranian languages into Armenian and have a certain frequency of use.
