Georgian scripts

The Georgian scripts are the three writing systems used to write the Georgian language: Asomtavruli, Nuskhuri and Mkhedruli. Although the systems differ in appearance, all three are unicase, their letters share the same names and alphabetical order, and are written horizontally following the standard Left-to-Right direction. Of the three Georgian writing systems, Mkhedruli (literally meaning "cavalry" or "military" script) was the civilian royal script of the Georgian Kingdom used for charters, historical documents, manuscripts and inscriptions. Mkhedruli is therefore the standard script for modern Georgian and its related Kartvelian languages, whereas Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri are used only in ceremonial religious texts and iconography.
