There is no distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters in single words, and apart from ligatures (which sometimes appear also in edited texts) letters are free-standing and not interconnected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, we speak of three Georgian alphabets (or in fact more properly, three scripts): mrglovani (also called asomtavruli, the earliest script), nuskhuri (the script of most medieval manuscripts), and mkhedruli (developed around 11.-13. cent., the basis of modern Georgian, and used in all modern editions). The alphabet introduced below is (in) <strong>mkhedruli.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning the letters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn the letters, you may start with the following video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"900\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1440 \/ 900;\" width=\"1440\" controls src=\"https:\/\/multilingual.sdu.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Old-Georgian.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this drill you will match the first 8 letters of the Old Georgian alphabet with their equivalent sounds in Latin characters:<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"theExam\"><div id=\"questionDiv\"><div class=\"rquiz-matching\" lang=\"en\"><p>Match the Latin letters with their Old Georgian equivalent (Georgian alphabetical order):<\/p>\n<table><tbody><tr><td>a<\/td><td>\u10d0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>b<\/td><td>\u10d1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>g<\/td><td>\u10d2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>d<\/td><td>\u10d3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>e<\/td><td>\u10d4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>v<\/td><td>\u10d5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>z<\/td><td>\u10d6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u0113<\/td><td>\u10f1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For further drills, go to the Memrise site, inscribe yourself as a user, and use their flip cards (with a free choice of memo-aids).
