The Three Scripts of History

Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Georgian has three distinct scripts: the ancient Asomtavruli, the medieval Nuskhuri, and the modern Mkhedruli used today.

  • Asomtavruli (Capital/Round) is the oldest script, used for monumental inscriptions.
  • Nuskhuri (Small/Church) evolved from Asomtavruli for faster writing in manuscripts.
  • Mkhedruli (Secular/Modern) is the current script used for all daily communication.
