Georgian has its own alphabet, used by no other major language. Its oldest dated inscriptions come from the 5th century: the Bir el Qutt inscriptions near Bethlehem from the 430s and the Bolnisi Sioni church inscription of 494. The alphabet has been written in three scripts over its history: Asomtavruli, the rounded original; Nuskhuri, a church script from the 9th century; and Mkhedruli, which grew out of royal charters and became the everyday script used today. Modern Georgian has 33 letters: five older letters were dropped in the 19th century after reforms championed by the writer Ilia Chavchavadze. In 2016 UNESCO inscribed the living culture of the three Georgian writing systems on its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Georgian was in Unicode from its first version in 1991, and in 2018 Unicode 11 added Mtavruli, capital-like forms of Mkhedruli used for titles and headings. Every 14 April Georgia marks Georgian Language Day, remembering the 1978 protests in Tbilisi that kept Georgian as a state language.
Georgian has three kinds of k, t, p, ts and ch. Each has an aspirated form (ქ თ ფ ც ჩ), an ejective form made with a closed throat (კ ტ პ წ ჭ) and a voiced form (გ დ ბ ძ ჯ), and they change meaning: ქარი is wind, კარი is door. Georgian has only five vowels, ა ე ი ო უ, and allows long consonant clusters: გვფრცქვნი (“you peel us”) begins with eight consonants. There are no capital letters in running text, so a Shift key does not capitalise; on this keyboard it gives the seven extra letters instead.
The seven Shift letters are where Georgian typing goes wrong. On the widely used Georgian QWERTY convention, ჭ, ღ, თ, შ, ჟ, ძ and ჩ sit on Shift + W, R, T, S, J, Z and C, and people who type fast on an English or Russian keyboard often drop to Latin transliteration instead, writing “gamarjoba” for გამარჯობა. It is readable, but it is not Georgian, and search engines treat it as a different word. A second trap is new: since Unicode 11, some software turns Georgian letters into Mtavruli when it “capitalises” text, so a heading or a name can suddenly change shape or show as boxes on older devices. Georgian is the mother tongue of 85.1% of Georgia’s population in the 2024 census, and large Georgian communities live in Russia, Turkey, Greece, Germany and the United States. This keyboard shows all 33 letters, keeps Shift from producing Mtavruli, and adds the lari sign ₾.
Georgian tells apart three versions of k, t, p, ts and ch, and a different letter for each one changes the word.
ქ is a k with a puff of air, კ is an ejective k made with a closed throat, and გ is g. Swap them and you say a different word.
Georgian sentences and names are written without capitals. The capital-like Mtavruli forms, added to Unicode 11 in 2018, are only for titles and headings.
Georgian allows long runs of consonants. გვფრცქვნი, “you peel us”, starts with eight of them before its only vowel.
The same letter “an” in the three Georgian scripts. Mkhedruli is today’s everyday script; the older two survive in church texts. UNESCO listed all three in 2016.
