Zok language (Armenian: Զոկերեն), also known as Agulis–Meghri, is a variety of Eastern Armenian. It is commonly considered a dialect, but is unintelligible to speakers of Standard Eastern Armenian. Its speakers refer to it as zokerēn or the "Zok language" or "Agulis dialect". Zok is significantly different from other Armenian varieties, leading to myths about its origins. However, in reality, the Zoks are an indigenous Armenian community from the Nakhichevan region.
