What is their ‘primary’ language there if not Russian? Did I misuderstand the article?
The primary language in Georgia is Georgian—a language not even in the same language family as Russian. It’s classified as a Caucasian language but it isn’t known if it’s actually related to any of the other languages of the Caucasus area. It has its own alphabet with 33 letters, completely unlike the Roman, Greek, or Cyrillic alphabets.
To make yourself more confused, look at their national epic from the High Middle Ages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Knight_in_the_Panther%27s_Skin
The main characters are an Arab and an Indian?
