A bit about Georgia and Georgian

I'm making this post because I don't want you be clueless of what I'm talking about (you probably still will be but it's great to be cultured)

What and where is Georgia?

Georgia (Georgian: საქართველო, translit.: sakartvelo, IPA: [sɑkʰɑrtʰvɛlɔ]),is a country in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. Located at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, it is bounded to the west by the Black Sea, to the north by Russia, to the south by Turkey and Armenia, and to the southeast by Azerbaijan. The capital and largest city is Tbilisi. Georgia covers a territory of 69,700 square kilometres (26,911 sq mi), and its population is about 3 723 500 million. Georgia is a unitary parliamentary republic, with the government elected through a representative democracy.

It's an Orthodox Christian country and adapted Christianity in 4th century. It was part of the Russian Empire for a while and shortly after Georgia was freed it became a part of the USSR. Georgia used to be the silk road in medieval times. Country consists of 13 states, 2 of which (Ach'ara and Abkhazia) are autonomic republics.

Georgian language

Georgian (ქართული ენა, translit.: kartuli ena, pronounced [kʰɑrtʰuli ɛnɑ]) is a Kartvelian language spoken by Georgians. It is the official language of Georgia. Georgian is written in its own writing system, the Georgian script. Georgian is the literary language for all regional subgroups of Georgians, including those who speak other Kartvelian languages: Svans, Mingrelians and the Laz.

Georgian has 3 scripts but only 1 of them is used nowadays (but you can still see them in books, churches, temples, etc. but they are still taught at schools and are mostly used in churches). The scripts are called Nuskha-Khutsuri, Asomtavruli/Mrgvlovani, and Mkhedruli. Mkhedruli is the modern alphabet.

The alphabet consists of 33 letters: 5 vowels and 28 consonants. there used to be 38 but 5 are out of usage. we won't learn the out of usage letters and scripts unless most of you guys request it.

Georgian shares an ancestral language with Mingrelian/Laz and Svan. Georgian as separate from the other Kartvelian languages would have emerged in the 1st millennium BC in the area known later as the Kingdom of Iberia.

The evolution of Georgian into a written language was a consequence of the conversion of the Georgian elite to Christianity in the mid-4th century. The new literary language was constructed on an already well-established cultural infrastructure, appropriating the functions, conventions, and status of Aramaic, the literary language of pagan Georgia, and the new national religion. The first Georgian texts are inscriptions and palimpsests dating to the 5th century. Georgian has a rich literary tradition. The oldest surviving literary work in Georgian is the 5th century Martyrdom of the Holy Queen Shushanik (წამებაჲ წმიდისა შუშანიკისი დედოფლისაჲ (ts'amebad ts'mindisa shushanik'isi dedoplisai) by Iakob Tsurtaveli. (the ჲ letter is out of usage now)

In the 11th century, Old Georgian gives rise to Middle Georgian, the literary language of the medieval kingdom of Georgia. The Georgian national epic, Shota Rustaveli's The Knight in the Tiger's Skin (ვეფხისტყაოსანი (vepkhist'qaosani), dates from the 12th century.

I will start teaching Georgian tomorrow so get your notebooks and pens because it's going to be a long ride. I will [of course] have images and audio attached to the posts so you know how to write and pronounce them.

my Georgian lessons will be available under the hashtag #anaskartuli (yes, my name is ana)

I hope you will like Georgian and my posts, please tell me if I can improve my teaching in any way btw
