Language family indigenous to the South Caucasus
The Kartvelian languages ( kart-VEL-ee-ən, -VEEL-; Georgian: ქართველური ენები, romanized: kartveluri enebi) are a language family indigenous to and spoken primarily in Georgia. The Kartvelian family is not related to any other known language family, making it one of the world's primary language families. The most widely spoken Kartvelian language, and the only literary language in the family, is standard Georgian. There are approximately 4 million Georgian language speakers worldwide. The earliest written source attesting to the existence of any Kartvelian language is an Old Georgian inscription located at the now-defunct Georgian Orthodox monastery near Bethlehem, dated to c. 430 AD. Georgian scripts are used to write all Kartvelian languages.
