Georgian Words That Will Make You Fall In Love With The Language

Georgian language is an official language of the country with its own writing system and script. It’s also considered one of the oldest languages still spoken today. The language is rich in words, phrases, and idioms. When a foreigner listens to the language, the first impression is that Georgian is hard to learn. But in reality, it’s not. The initial reaction might be because of the pronunciation and uvular letters, which can be difficult for non-speakers. We’ve made a list of some of our favorite Georgian words that will make you fall in love with the language.
