According to the official records of the Republic of Azerbaijan there is a latin scripst, developed for ingiloy dialect of georgian language that is teached in the ingiloy secondary schools. You can find this info even in wiki. pls check https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%98%D0%BD%D0%B3%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B9%D1%86%D1%8B 85.132.122.140 (talk) 05:26, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

The age of Georgian alphabet

Of course, mostly when people say when was Georgian alphabet Asomtavruli created there will be a debate. Georgians will tell you about King Parnavaz (3rd century BC) and Armenians will tell you it was created in 5th Century. While some people will say it was created with spread of Christianity in Georgia (4th century AD).

In 2008-2015 there was found an artifact found in Georgia, on "Graklianis Gora"(Please search about it) There was really old Georgian scripts found as 7th Century BC. So this found destroys other believes about Georgian scripts. How do we know it is Georgian? Most of the letters look a lot like Georgian symbols and letters of Asomtavruli or Mkhedruli. The alphabet was called Grak'liani. DEMEnsion123 (talk) 18:27, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Unless there are reliable sources that have concluded that it's Georgian, rather than speculating that it might be and remarking that a few of the symbols look similar, there's nothing for us to report here. Largoplazo (talk) 19:25, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Article review

It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed lots of uncited statements. There is also a "needs expansion" orange banner at the top of "Typefaces". Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 16:02, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Nekresi scripts

The page now states: Professor Levan Chilashvili's dating of fragmented Asomtavruli inscriptions, discovered by him at the ruined town of Nekresi, in Georgia's easternmost province of Kakheti, in the 1980s, to the 1nd or 2st century AD has not been accepted.

First, please note that Chilashvili's dating is not 1-2 century AD, but rather 2-1 century BC (see pages 17-18 in Chilashvili's monograph). I corrected this (not that I share this dating myself).

Since Chilashvili's research is mentioned but no references were presented, I added a reference to his monograph and suggest that it has to be kept. (Note that although Chilashvili's monograph has not been translated from Georgian, there are dozens of photographs of the inscriptions in it which are hard to find elsewhere.)

Besides, the page only mentions one person -- Stephen Rapp -- criticizing Chilashvili back in 2014. Is this the only ground for stating that the dating has not been accepted? One year earlier there was another monograph, by Heinz Fahnrich, a prominent scientist whose research areas are historical-comparative linguistics and Caucasian Studies (he authored e.g. Etymological dictionary of Georgian languages), who certainly does not seem as skeptical as Rapp (see from page 190; let me know if you need here a scan of a couple of pages).

Are there more reliable sources? If not, the statement has not been accepted needs to be changed to something like remains controversial and the reference to Fahnrich's monograph is needed. Comech (talk) 14:04, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
