There´s some "nordid" or "baltid" influence ?

Do the Svans look somewhat similar to "Eastern Slavs" ?

Svans are not Georgians. Svan and Georgian languages diverged thousands years ago and are not mutually intelligible.

Svans are not Georgians. Svan and Georgian languages diverged thousands years ago and are not mutually intelligible.

They diverged 3-4 thousand years ago, like Balto-Slavic or Indo-Iranian. Very different languages, but ethnically speaking they are part of Georgian (Kartvelian) macro-ethnic group
