Georgian is among the ten oldest languages along with Hebrew, Finnish, Farsi, Lithuanian. It has three alphabets and all of them are unique and are included by UNESCO in the world cultural heritage.
In the alphabet, which is used today in Georgia, there are 33 letters, 5 of them are vowels. Each sound corresponds to a separate letter and (here the readers breathe easier), in the language there is an unspoken rule “it is written as it is heard,” which greatly simplifies the life of those who began to learn this language.

A single verb carries a great meaning, and if the word “shevchame” translated into Russian means “eaten”, then the verb construction “shememecham” (in Russian will be compiled into a separate sentence) means “I was not going to have it, but it happened involuntarily. ”
