Language
Georgian is a South Caucasian language. More than 7 million people speak Georgian. The language has its own alphabet, designed by Mesrop Mashtots (the Armenian monk who designed the Armenian alphabet). It counts five vowels and 28 consonants. Many combinations of consonants occur in the language, think of Mtkvari.
Fortunately, the language is no problem for our travel groups, since the tour guide assists you intensively in both translations and contact with the local population. It is worth it to also study Georgian words yourself. For the journey you will receive a handy glossary and after some practice you will quickly notice the enthusiasm of the Georgians
