Georgian (<span class="autonym">ქართული</span>) is a European alphabet,
|
|
|
|
|
written left-to-right (4.5 million users). Used for the Georgian language of
|
|
|
|
|
Georgia, and other Kartvelian languages. Since 430 CE, the Georgian language
|
|
|
|
|
used an inscriptional form (Asomtavruli), which evolved into a manuscript form
|
|
|
|
|
(Nuskhuri). These are categorized as Khutsuri (ecclesiastical): Asomtavruli is
|
|
|
|
|
uppercase, Nuskhuri is lowercase. Khutsuri is still used for liturgical
|
|
|
|
|
purposes, but was replaced by a new case-less form (Mkhedruli) used for nearly
|
|
|
|
|
all modern Georgian writing. In the 1950s, Akaki Shanidze attempted to add
|
|
|
|
|
Asomtavruli as uppercase and use Mkhedruli for lowercase, but the effort did
|
|
|
|
|
not succeed. Read more on
