🎚️ What Georgian does with pitch, stress and rhythm — the layer that isn't spelled.
Sound snapshot
Georgian is written in its own alphabet, Mkhedruli, and the alphabet is honest: every letter is one sound, every sound is one letter, nothing is silent, there are no capitals. Learn 33 shapes and you can read anything aloud. The sounds themselves are the challenge: three series of stops — voiced (ბ დ გ), aspirated (ფ თ ქ, with a puff) and EJECTIVE (პ ტ კ, made with the glottis closed so they pop) — plus a uvular ejective ყ /qʼ/ and a uvular ხ /χ/. Consonant clusters can be fierce (გვფრცქვნი gvprtskvni — 'you peel us'). Stress is weak and usually on the first syllable; the five vowels never reduce.
