The number of people living in poverty in America rose by nearly 4 million to 43.6 million in 2009 âthe largest figure in the 51 years for which poverty estimates are available â the Census Bureau said Thursday.
Georgian is part of the South Caucasian family of languages: Zan (Mengrelo-Chan), Svan, and Georgian proper (Kartuli). It does not belong to any of the world's major language categories, such as Indo-European or Semitic. Over 98 percent of Georgians consider Georgian their native tongue.
For example, father in Georgian is mama and mother is deda. Georgian is rich in words connected with agriculture, winemaking, and metalworking. These are areas in which Georgians have specialized for a long time. For example, all metals have native words, not borrowing from Latin or some other language.
