Tehniki

Tehniki is a term that refers to a group of languages spoken in the South Caucasus region, primarily in Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. The term "Tehniki" is derived from the Georgian word "tehni," which means "language." These languages are part of the Kartvelian language family, which also includes the Svan language. Tehniki languages are known for their complex grammatical structures and rich vocabulary.

The most prominent Tehniki languages are Georgian, Azeri, and Armenian. Georgian is the official language of Georgia and is spoken by a significant portion of the population. Azeri, also known as Azerbaijani, is the official language of Azerbaijan and is spoken by the Azerbaijani people. Armenian is the official language of Armenia and is spoken by the Armenian people. Each of these languages has its own unique script and phonetic system.

Tehniki languages share several common features, including a complex system of case marking, a rich system of verb inflection, and a tendency to use postpositions rather than prepositions. These languages also have a strong tradition of oral literature and poetry, with many works being passed down through generations.

Despite their similarities, Tehniki languages also have distinct differences in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. For example, Georgian uses a unique script called Mkhedruli, while Azeri and Armenian use the Latin and Armenian scripts, respectively. Additionally, each language has its own unique set of dialects and regional variations.

Tehniki languages have a long history and have played significant roles in the cultural and political development of the South Caucasus region. They continue to be spoken by millions of people and are an important part of the region's linguistic and cultural heritage.
