Georgian, spoken by over three million people in the southern Caucasus,
is the only witten member of the Kartvelian language family, and has a
literary history of a millenium and a half. The language provides a
crucial resource for studying the cultures, languages, and history of
the region. Among the linguistic points of interest are the phonological
proclivity for consonant clusters, and the typological characteristics
of mixed or split case marking and verb marking systems. The grammatical
sketch will serve as a concise presentation of modern Georgian
phonology, morphology and syntax with particular attention given to the
complex verbal morphology and the morphosyntax of case government. A
select bibliography will include materials available in Western
languages.
