Georgian language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georgian (ქართული ენა, kartuli ena) is the official language of Georgia, a country in the Caucasus.
Georgian is the primary language of about 3.9 million people in Georgia itself, and of another 500,000 abroad (chiefly in Turkey, Iran, Russia, the USA and Europe). It is the literary language for all ethnographic groups of Georgian people, especially those who speak other South Caucasian languages (or Kartvelian languages): Svans, Mingrelians, and the Laz. Judaeo-Georgian, or “Kivruli”, sometimes considered a separate Jewish language, is spoken by an additional 20,000 in Georgia and 65,000 elsewhere (primarily 60,000 in Israel).
The Georgian alphabet (Georgian: ქართული დამწერლობა [kartuli damts'erloba], literally “Georgian script”) is the writing system currently used to write the Georgian language and other South Caucasian (Kartvelian) languages (Mingrelian, Svan and sometimes Laz), and occasionally other languages of the Caucasus (such as Ossetic and Abkhaz in the 1940s).[1] The Georgian language has phonemic orthography and the modern alphabet has thirty-three letters.
The Georgian word for “alphabet” is ანბანი [anbani], derived from the names of the first two letters of each of the three independent Georgian alphabets, which have the interesting characteristic of looking very dissimilar to one another yet which share the same alphabetic order and may be seen mixed to some extent, even though there is no official distinction between upper and lower case in writing the Georgian language.

Transcription

This table only lists the modern (monocameral) mkhedruli alphabet (i.e. 33 letters that are also convertible to the other two alphabets, excluding the 8 other mkhedruli letters that are now obsolete). “National” is the official transliteration system used by the Georgian government, while “Laz” is the official system used in northeastern Turkey for the Laz language.
