The Kartvelian Language - English

The Svan language is considered to have branched off from the common Kartvelian root-language earlier than the others, approximately 5 thousand years ago. After that, the unity of the Georgian and Zan languages dissolved a thousand years later, giving rise to the Georgian and Zan languages. The Zan language then split into Megrelian and Laz about 2 thousand years ago, although they have remained closely related since, and many linguists consider them to be dialects of the same language.
