Georgian emerged as its own separate language by the 1st millennium BC, when it was home to the Kingdom of Iberia.

At first, there was no written form of Georgian, and a type of Aramaic, Armazuli, was used instead. By 430 AD, with the rising popularity of Christianity, a writing system was developed so sacred texts could be written in Georgian. The first alphabet was called Asomtavruli and is believed to have been based on the Greek alphabet.

The alphabet used today is called Mkhedruli, and was first used to print a Georgian-Italian dictionary in Rome in 1629. Georgian grammar is interesting as there is a rich system of word derivation. Essentially, any root can have a number of prefixes and suffixes added to it to create many different nouns and adjectives. The Georgian counting system is based on twenty, just like the Basque and French systems.
