Alphabets. " Mastoc' was a charismatic visionary who accomplished his task at a time when Armenia stood in danger of losing both its national identity, through partition, and its newly acquired Christian faith, through Sassanian pressure and reversion to paganism. By preaching in Armenian, he was able to undermine and co-opt the discourse founded in native tradition, and to create a counterweight against both Byzantine and Syriac cultural hegemony in the church. Mastoc' also created the Georgian and Caucasian-Albanian alphabets, based on the Armenian model."

"A collection of biblical commentaries, translations of patristic works, and liturgical prayers and hymns is credited to Mesrob, corroborating his reputation for having laid the foundation of a national Armenian liturgy. He is also credited with contributing to the origin of the Georgian alphabet."

Востоковедения РАН. "Христианизация закавказских стран имела важные последствия и для развития местной культуры. На рубеже IV-V вв. появилась армянская письменность, созданная Месропом Маштоцем. Не без его помощи были изобретены и национальные алфавиты в Грузии и Албании. "

The Cambridge History of the Bible: From the Beginnings to Jerome — Cambridge University Press, 1975 — ISBN 0521099730. P. 367. "Georgia was converted during the 4th century, tradition has it by the agency of an Armenian slave woman, and whether these details are in any measure true or not, the tradition probably indicates the source of the Georgians' knowledge of Christianity and the Christian scriptures. These did not begin to be translated into Georgian until Mesrop, provider of an Armenian alphabet, also supplied the Georgians with an adequate means of transcription for their speech."

"Moreover, all surviving MSS written in Georgian postdate K'art'li's 4th-century conversion to Christianity. Not a shred of dated evidence has come to light confirming the invention of a Georgian alphabet by King P'arnavaz in the 3rd century ВС as is fabulously attested in the first text of K'C'...

азербайджанцы, когда вставал вопрос о происхождении албанского алфавита – писали, что и албанский, и грузинский были созданы учениками Маштоца. Если Вам интересно – подробная библиография приведена в уже упомянутых мной книгах В.А.Истрина «История письма», М.1965 и И.Фридриха под тем же названием, М.1979.

I see you spammed my video with stupid comments! Stp lying and distorting the truth! Your first literature work appeared right after Mashtoc created alphabet for you and it looked like a copy cat of Armenian! It is recorded in ancient manuscript in Matenadaran and accapted by ALL world scholars, with your anti-Ar menian hatred you distort the world heritage!
