Georgian Alphabet
Georgian alphabet is amongst the most advanced ones worldwide against the background of the oldest original alphabets. There are 33 letters in the modern Georgian – 5 vowels and 28 consonants. Each phoneme has its own corresponding grapheme. Unlike many other languages, there are no capital letters in Georgian alphabet, although the ancient Georgian script used capital letters. Later, these letters were applied only at the beginning of paragraphs as a miniature text decor.
In the course of development, Georgian writing changed its appearance three times, and, therefore, there are three types of letter outlines: Asomtavruli, Nuskhuri and Mkhedruli. The Nushkhuri writing is a result of development of Asomtavruli, while Mhedruli is a result of development of Nuskhuri. There were 38 letters in the ancient Georgian alphabet; in the XIX century, five graphemes that were no longer used in live speech were removed from the alphabet.
