Georgian is natively spoken by about 2.6 million people, primarily in Georgia and among the Georgian diaspora. It is integral to Georgian cultural identity, celebrated for its unique alphabet, literature, and polyphonic music. Georgian grammar features an agglutinative structure with a subject-object-verb (SOV) word order, a rich system of verb conjugations, and noun cases to indicate grammatical relationships.
