Romanization of Georgian

This system, adopted in February 2002 by the State Department of Geodesy and Cartography of Georgia and the Institute of Linguistics, Georgian National Academy of Sciences, establishes a transliteration system of the Georgian letters into Latin letters.

It is also used by BGN and PCGN since 2009, as well as in Google translate.

The system is mostly used in social networks, forums, chat rooms, etc.

The system is greatly influenced by the common QWERTY-derived Georgian keyboard layout that ties each key to each letter in the alphabet (seven of them: T, W, R, S, J, Z, C with the help of the shift key to make another letter).

[2] The guiding principles in the standard are: Archaic letters are shown on a red background.
