Features
Features complex phonology, including ejective consonants and long consonant clusters, some of which can occur at the beginning of words, making pronunciation particularly challenging for non-native speakers. It has a rich system of verb morphology, where verbs can encode subject, direct and indirect objects, tense, mood, aspect, and version (a unique feature that marks the relationship between the action and the speaker). Georgian also employs postpositions rather than prepositions and relies heavily on agglutination, especially in verb formation. The language lacks grammatical gender and definite articles, and its case system includes nominative, ergative, and dative cases, reflecting its split-ergative alignment based on tense and aspect. Georgian syntax is relatively flexible, though it generally follows a subject-object-verb (SOV) word order.
Dialects
The Georgian language has several regional dialects, which are generally grouped into two main categories: western and eastern. While all dialects are mutually intelligible, they exhibit differences in phonology, vocabulary, and intonation. Notable dialects include Kartlian and Kakhetian in the east, and Imeretian, Gurian, Mingrelian-influenced, and Adjarian in the west. Although Mingrelian and Laz are closely related languages within the same Kartvelian family, they are considered distinct from Georgian. Despite regional variations, Standard Georgian—based primarily on the Kartlian dialect—is used in education, media, and official communication throughout the country.
Writing System
Georgian script
U.S. Distribution
In the U.S., the Georgian language is spoken by a relatively small but concentrated immigrant community, primarily originating from the country of Georgia. Georgian speakers can be found in major metropolitan areas with established Eastern European and Eurasian populations, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and the greater Washington, D.C. area. These communities often maintain the language through family, cultural associations, community events, and places of worship. While Georgian is not widely spoken nationally, it holds cultural and linguistic importance within these communities and is occasionally requested for specialized interpretation or translation services, particularly in legal, immigration, and medical contexts.
