Georgian (Mkhedruli)
Theories of its origin divide between Armenian missionary Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century and an independent Georgian origin.
Theories of its origin divide between Armenian missionary Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century and an independent Georgian origin. Three Georgian scripts coexist (Asomtavruli, Nuskhuri, Mkhedruli); the current official Mkhedruli is inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Georgia holds the world's oldest winemaking tradition (6000 BC), and thousands of years of wine-related literature survive in this script.
