Inhaltsangabe

The language of Georgia, located at the crossroads of western Asia and eastern Europe, is one of the oldest languages still in use today. It is the primary language of about 4 million people in Georgia itself, and of another 500,000 in other countries. Despite its rich history and cultural significance-and its ability to survive wave after wave of conquering armies-it is not a language that is widely known. This is a shame, because it's a fascinating language, one that lacks any discernible links to Indo-European languages, even though they seem to have developed in the same region. In fact, Georgian lacks links to any other language. It is unique. This little phrasebook is offered as a basic vocabulary for travelers, especially those who want to explore the country's marvelous cultural heritage. In addition to art, literature, music, and dancing, special feasts based on Georgian cooking are commonplace, with a toastmaster guiding a flow of toasts throughout the meal. Travelers will appreciate the book's design. Words and phrases (with their proper pronunciation) are arranged in two different ways: first categorized according to their use, then a second time in English alphabetical order. You'll be able to do sightseeing, discuss politics, explore nature, play sports, and enjoy the ეროვნული სამზარეულო (erovnuli samzareulo, or traditional cuisine) without fumbling for words! HENRY LEWIS is a high school student in Charlottesville, Virginia. His previous books include an edition of Two Little Savages by Ernest Thompson Seton, which he co-edited in 2010.
