I saw someone say that the Kartvelian Languages were likely much more widespread in ancient times in the Pontic Steppe and Anatolia but were pushed into modern areas by the expansion of Indo Europeans. No clue how true that is but it would explain why there’s so much linguistic influence, and why Pontic Greeks are much closer genetically to Kartvelians than any other groups, including Greeks and Turks.

[@themadmanwithapen]

This is true. The Bronze Age Kaska and Hattic languages were likely Kartvelian, and they were both displaced by Anatolian languages.

[@eldardzhobava7299]

Thanks for the video! A few clarifications: 1) there is no letter or sound "n" in the name of megreli. "Mingrels" is a name distorted by the russians. From the russian name, this error entered the German and English scientific literature. The self-name of the people is Margal'ep, in Georgian - Megrelebi, hence the correct name - Megreli. 2) Megreli and Laz - until now, most linguists argue, because in fact the Megrel and Laz languages ​​are most likely dialects of the same language. The Laz language has more Greek and Turkish borrowings than Megrelian, but these languages ​​are quite mutually intelligible.

Georgian here and great video, although there is something I would like to add. There is some amount of evidence that written Georgian actually did exist in the antiquity, as there are a few sources mentioning written communication between proto Georgian kingdoms and the Hellenic world at the time. There is also evidence of written laws existing in Georgia, as some of those archaic laws still survive in high mountain regions of the country, such as Tusheti. Additionally, according to the story of Georgia's Christianization in 5th century AD, king Miriam destroyed all the pre existing scripture and replaced it with Christian scripture, which implies that some sort of a writing script existed before Christianization.

[@avalianiii]

also, how the hell would there be inscriptions in 5th or even 6th century almost a continent away 11:11 if there was not an established alphabet well before that? it's not like some armenian guy invented georgian and and in the same century spead it on several continents via KZbin or TikTok 😀 right? excuse me, I'm not an expert, but seems very unlikely to me; please correct me if I'm wrong

There is an entire Georgian city in Isfahan provinc. I visited it and it was so unique. Imagine Iranized Shia Georigians 💀

[@enta2]

Although there have been Georgian migrations into Iran - sometimes voluntary, but mainly forced - since the time of shah Tahmasp I, the presence of a large Georgian community in Iran dates mainly from the reign of shah Abbas I. During the Persian punitive campaign undertaken in eastern Georgia by Shah Abbas in 1614-17 against his (formerly most loyal) Georgian subject Teimuraz I, both the region of Kakheti and the city of Tbilisi were devastated, and a large part of the population forced into exile. Soon after the triumphal return of Shah Abbas to Persia in 1617 following his Georgian campaign, some 200,000 ethnic Georgians from Kakheti were banished to Isfahan province, Fereydan county, and other regions in mainland Persia, such as in the north (present day Mazandaran province, Gilan province). Under forced labour,[1] Georgians constructed bridges and organized the improvement of the farmlands of the Fereydan valley.[2] After their forced migration, Persianization, and islamisation,[3] few of the Fereydan Georgians were able to maintain any contact with their motherland. They did, however manage to retain their mother tongue, the Georgian language, which, to this day, they call Pereidnuli (and which is mutually intelligible with East Georgian dialects). Today, the number of Fereydan Georgians exceeds 100,000 individuals, while the total number of Iranian Georgians in the country as a whole (to say nothing of Iranians claiming Georgian ancestry) constitutes a far greater number, running into the millions - the result of successive waves of Georgian migration occurring between the 16th and 19th centuries.

3:16 The views 2 and 3 can't hold any water considering that there are Asomtavruli writings on ancient gravestones dated 1-3 centuries AD (discovered during Nekresi excavations). View 1, on the other hand, is extra tricky due to two reasons: 1. The history of Parnavaz comes from a historian long after his supposed reign and holds some events that sound very mythologized (though that's not unheard of even for relatively modern monarchs); 2. The word used in his accounts for what Parnavaz created is "მწიგნობრობა", which basically means literature (book creation, bookmongering 😅). In short, Asomtavruli already existed at least in 3rd century AD, but we only have one plausible account for when and how exactly it was created and no evidentiary support for it. Interestingly, a relatively recent discovery during Grakliani excavations revealed a form of writing dated X-IX centuries BC that some claim to be Aramaic, but also contains letters bearing some resemblence to Asomtavruli, so, that's a whole new can of worms. The search continues.

Greetings from Georgia🇬🇪❤️Thanks for popularizing Georgian culture, but one thing I would like to specify is that, there are two other languages that are Kartvelian, these are:Abkhazian spoken by Georgian Abkhazian people and Osuri, or in English it would Osetian.

[@torchbearer4489]

A lot of people, including many Georgians, don't know that the oldest Georgian writing style Asomtavruli is actually pronounced "Asomtvaruli" - which translates as "Moon Letters" and is based both on shape and meaning of the various phases of the moon. Ancient Kartvelians worshipped the moon and the cult of the wolf (also associated with the moon), that's why the name Georgia was given to it, from the word "Gurgen" or "Wolf". This is why the writing in Asomtvaruli is so spherical and circular in design and it hides many astrological secrets as well!

[@paatabu7156]

This is pure speculation. There is no evidence or reasonable theory about it. Also, only the Asomtavruli letter that kind of looks like the moon phase is "A - ani"

[@TamarMebonia]

It's pronounced as it's written. I assume you mean the original use of "Asomtavruli" had a typo in it? Either way, if there is a hypothesis about Asomtavruli being a bastardized form of the Asomtvaruli, I've never seen proof of it. Are there any scriptures, any books or letters that make use of your proposed version? Considering its traditional use as the capital letter at the beinning of religious texts, "mtavruli" makes perfect sense ("the leading kind"). Also, considering its age - the name first used in 16th century, until then it was (and still is) called "Mrglovani" (aka "rounded", "possessing a rounded shape") - if your hypothesis were true, it would've been Asomtovaruli, the older form of "the moon" that was in use at that time is "mtovare", not "mtvare".

[@paatabu7156]

Asomtavruli or Mrglovani as it is called also, was used as a form of upper case letters in the beginning of sentences next to Nuskhuri letters. It would have been nice if in modern Georgian they had kept using both Mrglovani as an upper case and Mkhesruli as a lowercase letters. That would be technically useful, too, for abbreviations, name capitalization, and other purposes.

Friendly reminder that “northwest and north east Caucasian languages” isn’t actually a language family. Technically all languages in caucuses are considered Caucasian languages.

[@chaoticCricket]

თუ შენ ამბობ რომ მანდარინისთვის დანა გჭირდება?

Thank you for this video. Unfortunately, we still do not have a good government to care for and help Georgians who live outside of modern Georgian borders. I think we should have at least some organization that will keep contact with Laz people in Turkey, Fereidani Georgians in Iran, and also have Herety Georgians, who live in modern Azerbaijani territory, and they have their unique dialect as well. The political situation is always dramatic in my tiny country no time to take care of our wonderful people outside of the modern Georgian borders. I hope this will change soon.

Can you do all vlach langueges?

[@kavkasia93]

Thank you.

Thanks for watching 🙏

All three are the same alphabet 😀 Asomtavruli is Letter case and It was used mainly for making inscriptions on buildings. Nuskhuri is the same alphabet, only with lowercase letters, these lowercase letters were artistically embellished for writing books. Mkhedruli is also the same alphabet, but it was simplified and made easy for ordinary people to write.

Can You make All Na dené languages explainded?

[@chantsalDamdinsuren]

Vid suggestion:All Sino-Tibetan languages explained

[@KaterinaDush]

Thanks brother for the video just we are not subgroups but We are original peoples. It was only because of our small number that we decided to live in one state, which was created by the Georgians, the largest group of us. if the Laz were with us it would be fair. Now our peoples are divided between different states and are assimilated or exterminated by Russia and their local allies. Hope all Kartvelic peoples will get their cultural autonomies in the states they live. And their assimilation and extermination stops. ❤ Anyway very interesting video. Happy you interested with our languages. ❤️

[@NathanielEriashvili]

The phrase "მე ვწერ" ("me vts'er" meaning "I write") is considered grammatically redundant in Georgian because the pronoun marker ("ვ-" for "I") is already embedded in the verb itself, "ვ-წერ" ("I write"), "წერ" ("you write"), "წერს" ("he/she writes"). Thus, the subject "მე" ("I") is not necessary, as the verb alone ("ვწერ") conveys who is performing the action.

[@Grisshky1]

I mean everything good but why did u remove aphkazia and samachablo from our land?

[@turkchap]

Do you see me separating them with a country border? I guess not

[@jeremycline9542]

I wonder what peoples mentioned in the Greek and Roman sources were actually Kartvelian?

[@lordofbanshees]

Perhaps Colchis. They were succeeded by a small-scale laz empire, after all.

Thank you bro, but, why this music ??? Why did you choose sad music? You created a video about Georgia, it is logical to insert Georgian music!

13:34 its not "twenty plus ten", its "twenty ten". Like when you count "twenty eight, twenty nine, twenty ten, twenty eleven"

[@gamupithecus]

there is small typo, in cat section, you wrote ati (10), instead of ori (2)

[@tapikoBlends]

thanks for video BTW, 15:30 it is old georgian

[@jeremycline9542]

Wow, that number system! Danish is kind of crazy, too. 80 is basically "4 twenties" and 70 is "half four twenties"...with half somehow meaning minus 10. So, 4X20-10=70?

[@turkchap]

Hahaha crazy 😅

[@hallownest_feats]

ოთხმოცი 80 "4 twenties" სამოცდაათი 70 "sixty and ten"

But what if my only friend is a pen? What form of 'to have' do you use then? And thank you, Turk Chap, for listening to my comment asking you to include more linguistics in your language videos. Now, I just might subscribe.

Mingrelian did face persecution and genocide between 1580-1690 and again in 1992-93, by same perpetrators Apwsas and in 90s by Ruzzians. territory from Psou to River Ghalidzga up until 1690 was ethnically Mingrelian

[@craigcook9715]

If cars are considered "living" because they move, are plants "non-living"?

[@turkchap]

Deep thoughts. But I guess not haha

[@gigachaduneli1121]

Car can move around its own(kinda) plants cant

[@trueordrue]

7:20 who are those georgians in iran

[@eren_1oglu]

I feel sorry for them

[@turkchap]

Descendants of the 16th-17th century Georgians who were relocated to Iran during the Safavid dynasty.

[@lunaaaa-n6y]

as an georgian i love this vid

[@turkchap]

🇬🇪❤️

[@埊]

I see that there amongst Kartvels and Turkic existed also Caucasians and Mongolians, this makes me to think that the Kartvelian language came with the great people's migration or during the times of mongol invasions, Armenia having the Indoeuropean language suggest it being here earliest, so all the Midsea belongs to the Armenia rightfully and other 2 as the support kingdoms, it be: Armenian Throne, Georgian Crown and Azerbaijiyan Sword.

[@giopa110888]

Well, pal, It seems to me you weren't the smartest kid in the class.

[@IMNO-im6yw]

I'm very glad that you made such a good story about kartvelians, but why didn't you mention the Abkhazians and their language? Abkhazia is Georgia that is occupied by Russia. I hope you are informed about this. but finally Thank you for creating such a good video.

[@stellaislovely]

Because Abkhaz language isn't Kartvelian
