The Georgian alphabet is a unique writing system used primarily for the Georgian language, which is spoken in the country of Georgia. It consists of 33 letters, each representing a distinct sound. The alphabet is notable for its beautiful, rounded shapes and has been in use since the 5th century AD, evolving from earlier scripts. There are three historical scripts associated with the Georgian alphabet: Asomtavruli, Nuskhuri, and Mkhedruli. The modern version, Mkhedruli, is the most widely used today and does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters. This alphabet plays a crucial role in preserving the rich cultural heritage of Georgia.
