Living culture of three writing systems of the Georgian alphabet - UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
ich.unesco.org →The evolution of Georgia’s written language has produced three alphabets – Mrgvlovani, Nuskhuri and Mkhedruli – which all remain in use today. Mrgvlovani was the first alphabet from which Nuskhuri was derived and then Mkhedruli. The alphabets coexist thanks to their different cultural and social functions, reflecting an aspect of Georgia’s diversity and identity. Their ongoing use in a cultural sense, also gives communities a feeling of continuity. The alphabets Mrgvlovani and Nuskhuri are practised and taught informally predominately by the community of the Georgian Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Church. For example, the alphabets feature in texts used by church worshippers such as the psalms and hymns and on inscriptions of display items used in the church, like the icons. Traditional craftspeople (goldsmiths, embroiderers, icon-painters and sculptors) who create pieces for the church can also be considered as practitioners and transmitters of the alphabets, as well as some theological schools, tertiary institutions, linguists, scholars and historians. Georgia’s educational system, however, is based on the Mkhedruli alphabet. Taught in primary and high school, the Mkhedruli alphabet is also transmitted informally in the home from older to younger generations. The Mrgvlovani and Nuskhuri alphabets are taught in schools in Georgia but at a basic level. 1. Oral traditions and expressions (384) 2. Performing arts (411) 3.

El alfabeto georgiano (en georgiano, ქართული დამწერლობა kartuli damts'erloba) consta de 33 letras usadas para escribir el georgiano y otras lenguas cercanas, y toma tres formas diferentes pero equivalentes: asomtavruli (mayúsculas eclesiásticas), nusjuri (minúsculas eclesiásticas) y mjedruli (secular moderna). Es un alfabeto unicameral, aunque existen formas que imitan la bicameralidad (grafías diferentes para mayúsculas y minúsculas), y se escribe de izquierda a derecha. Las muestras más antiguas del alfabeto son las inscripciones de Bir el-Qutt datadas en el año 430 d. C. y encontradas en un monasterio georgiano de Palestina, usando el sistema asomtavruli. Este sería sustituido paulatinamente por el nusjuri (nuskhuri), hacia el siglo IX. El nusjuri fue reemplazado a su vez por la versión de forma más redondeada, conocida como mjedruli (mkhedruli), que pasaría a ser común en el siglo X. La Iglesia ortodoxa georgiana sigue usando ampliamente en sus escritos e iconografía los dos sistemas anteriores. Las letras modernas, como las antiguas, son una : no diferencian mayúsculas y minúsculas. Sin embargo, cuando se desarrollaron las letras nusjuri, estas se combinaban con el asomtavruli de forma similar a las minúsculas y mayúsculas, así formaron temporalmente una escritura bicameral que denominamos «khutsuri». Todavía algunos autores utilizan las letras redondas clásicas asomtavruli como mayúsculas en textos modernos para titulares, para logos, etc. También se ha desarrollado una variante mayúscula (denominada «mtavruli») del alfabeto moderno, que son más fáciles de leer que las antiguas formas clásicas. En 2016 la Unesco inscribió esta escritura en la lista representativa de Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad con el título «tradición cultural viva de los tres sistemas de escritura del alfabeto georgiano».
