    Default How does Georgian sound to you?

    Dunno if it's the right place to open the thread but this seems more or less fitting. I have a rather banal question - how does Georgian sound to you? I have found this tv-programe that has botth male and female voices in normal tonality and I think it is close to representative (folk songs may often have weird intonation/pronounciation).

    Quite a few people have told me it sound like Hebrew, btw.

    Same here; but I do like the way it sounds, I like languages with fricatives.

    Sounds a bit like a mixture of Hebrew and Farsi to me, not very melodically in my opinion.

    Yeah, to be honest I think it's not really cool sounding (unlike say Greek, Italian or Belorussian) but I am proud of alphabet (invented by Armenians like everything in Georgia and almost everything in the world).

    sounds alright, don't get the Hebrew comparisons though but it sure doesn't sound too different from that Chechen example
