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.

L’alphabet géorgien (nommé localement მხედრული, mkhedruli) est l’écriture actuellement utilisée pour écrire le géorgien et quelques autres langues du Caucase, dont l’ossète, l’abkhaze, ainsi que le bats (une langue du sous-groupe nakh dans les langues nakho-daghestaniennes) qui y ajoute des signes diacritiques, le mingrélien et le svane. C’est normalement une écriture unicamérale dans sa forme ronde moderne mkhedruli actuelle (comportant 33 lettres : 28 consonnes et 5 voyelles), soit militaire, comme dans sa forme ronde classique originelle mrgvlovani (მრგვლოვანი, soit onciale, dont les lettres asomtavruli, c'est-à-dire majuscules, étaient différentes des lettres rondes modernes), mais elle fut temporairement une écriture bicamérale dans son ancienne forme ecclésiastique khutsuri (ხუცური, « ecclésiastique », grâce à l’ajout d’un autre alphabet carré nuskhuri (ნუსხური, « minuscules ») ou kutkhovani (კუთხოვანი) pour les minuscules, alphabet aujourd’hui totalement abandonné). Certains auteurs utilisent toutefois les lettres rondes classiques asomtavruli comme majuscules dans les textes modernes, les titres de journaux, les logos, etc. D'autres ont préféré développer des variantes capitales (appelées mtavruli) de l'alphabet moderne, plus faciles à lire pour les lecteurs que les anciennes formes classiques (et utilisées principalement pour des usages similaires aux petites capitales latines, par exemple pour mettre en emphase des paragraphes importants ou des inscriptions monumentales, où ces lettres peuvent également coexister, en tant que lettres minuscules, avec les lettres rondes classiques utilisées alors pour les initiales en majuscules).
