While we are at it here is the best (IMHO) Lak forum. Check "nittil maz" and then "literatura".

Re: Lezgi. Glad you agree :)

How difficult would it be compared to Basque, Korean (assuming I am not a speaker of it), and Turkish? Apparently Georgian is unusually ridden with exceptions for an agglutinative language.

Both Georgian and Basque languages have polypersonal verb agreement system. This means that verbs have to agree with subject, direct object, indirect object, causative meanings etc


   Sourse: Wikipedia
In Georgian, the verb consists of a root and several optional affixes. The subject and object markers might appear as suffixes or prefixes, according to the verb class, the person and number, the tense and aspect of the verb, etc.; they also interact with each other phonologically. The polypersonal verbal system of Georgian allows the verb compound to convey the meanings of subject, direct object, indirect object, genitive, locative and causative meanings. As examples of the extremely complicated Georgian verb morphology, these are some simple polypersonal verbs (hyphens indicate morpheme boundaries):

v-khed-av "I see him"
g-mal-av-en "they hide you (sing. or pl.)"
g-i-mal-av-en "they hide it from you (sing. or pl.)"
gv-i-ket-eb-s "he is doing it for us"
a-chuk-eb-s "he will give it to him (as a gift)"
mi-u-lots-av-s "he will congratulate him on it"

Yeah I agree, Georgian looks an intriging language and Georgia looks an interesting place to visit; I'm glad that the 2008 South Ossetia war didn't escalate into something terrible. As for the language, the script is beautiful and I admire the strange and heavy use of constanants.

Armenian too looks an immensly fascinating language - even more so that Georgian. This tiny country is one of the oldest in the world and its isolated landlocked position in the Caucasus has preserved it's unique culture.
