Not really sure if I wanna learn it or not(I'm learning 3 at the same time already) but the letters are pretty(can't really think of a better word for it). I'm making a conlang and I very much thinking about using the Georgian script as a base for my conciv's ancient script(that they used before the currently unnamed high priest suggested to he king that he decree a change to the -at the time- fairly new, roman alphabet)
dude who the fuck is that guy , lol , he sounds like russian , i dont understand why would a foreigner try to teach my language , dont listen to this video , it sounds like echo from shitcave ))
can you post a reply to this video with all the phrases said correctly? I am about to start learning some Georgian (from a book:( ) and I'd love to hear some proper pronunciation.
Here, check out this database - It's a huge etymology database compiled by a group of long-range linguists, mainly from Russia (Nostratic theory is pretty big there). The etymologies are of course not provable and never will be, but it's interesting nonetheless. Starostin groups Kartvelian into Nostratic, but then there's a group called "Sino-Caucasian", where North Caucasian is included. That was kinda shocking...
Anyway, google-search 'long-range etymology' and click on "Databases". Top link.
@ninakias As you know, Youtube does not allow linking to other sites using comments. So I have to "describe" the process for getting to the website. What was shocking about North Caucasian and Sino-Tibetan being grouped together by Starostin was because they're so incredibly different today. North Caucasian languages are polysynthetic and has all kinds of unusual sounds that most languages of the world don't have. Sino-Tibetan languages are analytic and use tones to convey meanings.
It sounds like Chechnian. I know they say that Georgian is linguistically a Kartvelian (South Caucasian) language and Chechnian is North Caucasian language, but linguists need to investigate the similarities more closely because I beleive the South Caucasian Languages (Kartvelian languages) are related to the North Caucausian languages"
@xhemexx It seems like an obvious thing that they'd be more closely related than they appear, and they could be, but if so it's a VERY far-removed relationship and it just doesn't seem possible with current techniques to conclusively link them together. There've been a good many attempts by linguists to find links but so far to no avail. Check out "Dene-Caucasian" hypothesis, it even tries to link ALL Caucasian languages to the Na-Dene languages - I'm still not sure what I think of that idea...
@xhemexx Phonologically, grammatically, and lexically, they've grown enormously apart, and even within Northern Caucasian there are Eastern and Western branches that haven't even been definitively linked to each other yet, let alone to Kartvelian. So Kabardian and Tsez are considered to be of separate families as well, NW'ern and NE'ern! They share grammar and lexical features, but that may or may not be due to proximity. They've all been spoken there so long that there's no way to tell for sure
@Suolperos Yea...languages diverge so far apart when they have been spoken in one place for so long. As far as I know the Caucasian languages are pretty geographically isolated as well.
@xhemexx when civilazation was blosoming in south caucasus i mean in georgian kindoms in north caucasus were only forest people with no culture no nothing so very simple kartvelian langueges are unique no relations with other families !
The guy is speaking with a Russian accent,but the words are Georgian.
