==Etymology==
There is a opinion, that the word '''lavash''' is an Armenian word, as the word "lavash" in Armenian consists of two parts. The first one "lav" in Armenia means "good". The second part "ash" means "food, meal". So in Armenian it means "good food".<ref>Armenian Soviet Encyclopedia, 4 volume, pages 234-235</ref>
According to the "Etymologic dictionary of Turkic languages" the word "lavash" has no recognized etymology. It consists of two parts. The first one "lav" could be possibly adopted by Turkic from [[Chinese language|Chinese]] or [[Arabic language|Arabic]]. The second part "ash" means "food, meal". It could be of Turkic origin or could be adopted by Turkic from [[Middle Persian]]. The word was [[Loanword|adopted]] from the [[Turkic languages]] by many [[Languages of the Caucasus|Caucasian languages]] and by [[Russian language]].<ref>Э.В. Севортян.
