Georgian alphabet

The Georgian alphabet is a unique writing system used to write the Georgian language. It consists of 33 distinct characters, each representing a specific sound, with no direct correlation to Latin or Cyrillic letters. The script has a distinctive, rounded, and flowing appearance, with three main types: Asomtavruli (capital letters), Nuskhuri (used in combination with Asomtavruli in religious texts), and Mkhedruli (the modern standard). Mkhedruli is the most widely used today and is known for its elegant, cursive style. Overall, the Georgian alphabet reflects the rich cultural and historical heritage of Georgia.
