Hello Language Lovers! Thank you for joining me for this episode of Speaking Tongues, the podcast in conversation with multi linguals. Today, Iâm speaking with Gvantsa about her languages of Georgian and Mingrelian. Gvantsa is a Master's student at the Technical University of Munich. Although she speaks several languages, her linguistic journey is particularly marked by a deep connection to Georgian, her native language, and Mingrelian, a language she has been intimately familiar with through family.Â
In this episode we discuss:Â
đŹđȘ Georgiaâs relationship to the other Kartvelian languages
đŹđȘ Changes of Georgian throughout the country including a town in the mountains with a different way of speaking
đŹđȘ Folk tales, songs and dances in Georgian - including Georgian polyphonic singing
đŹđȘ Speaking Mingrelian in families and the reasons why itâs become an endangered language
đŹđȘ How Mingrelian is used and how it is expressed orthographically
đŹđȘ How technology is changing the future of language study and how it has been helpful to her
đŹđȘ Of course, we also had to talk about Georgian wine and food - so make sure you keep listening for that part of the conversationÂ
