Wiktionary:Georgian transliteration

These are the rules concerning transliteration in Georgian, Old Georgian and Laz entries.

Wiktionary standard transliteration for Georgian-script based languages, including Georgian, Old Georgian, Svan, Laz, Mingrelian, Ossetian, Abkhaz. It follows the Iberiul-K’avk’asiuri enatmetsnierebis ts’elits’deuli [Annual of Ibero-Caucasian Linguistics] system as shown in The World’s Writing Systems. This is the usual transliteration system in Caucasiological literature. It is used in Fähnrich 2007 and (with slight typhographical modification) in Klimov 1964 and 1998.

The letter is transliterated as wi for Old Georgian and as w for Svan.
