<p>
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
