Old Georgian

Old Georgian is an early form of the Georgian language, spoken roughly from the 5th to the 11th centuries. It represents the language used in medieval Georgia for religious texts, literature, and official documents during that period. Old Georgian’s unique alphabet, different from modern Georgian, reflects its distinct phonetics and grammar. Studying it offers insights into Georgia’s cultural, historical, and linguistic development, serving as a foundation for understanding contemporary Georgian. It is important for historians, linguists, and scholars interested in Georgia’s medieval history and language evolution.
