Georgian Sign Language
Georgian Sign Language (Georgian: ქართული ჟესტური ენა) is the national sign language of the deaf in the country of Georgia.[2][3]
Fingerspelling originally used an alphabet based on the Russian manual alphabet. However, in 2012 a new Mkhedruli-based manual alphabet was developed with the support of the Union of the Deaf of Georgia.[4]
