In Italy I was told that Georgian sounds like French :D I've also heard this from other foreigners.Svan really does sound like French a bit but not sure about Georgian,at least we have very different accents.

Can you understand the Laz guy Nosferatu?
Interesting how long ago languages like Svan and Mingrel/Laz split off into branches separate from Georgian. 3,000 BC, that's a very long time. How different are they then? Like Germanic versus Indo-Aryan different?
Lazs and Mingrelians can understand each other but they can't understand Svan,Georgian is also very different from them and has Latin words,even some Germanic. For example ,,me'' in Georgian is also ,,me'' but pronounciation is a bit different, Soul_Suli, Cat_Kata, Chance_shansi, Mass_masa, Wine_gvino, sing_simgera ,,Mama'' is father and ,,Papa'' grandfather, ,,nu''(not) is also ,,nu'' in Georgian

I do not know about cultural aspects between you.
Yes. Also between you have the same old paganist roots if you do not look at Islam and Christianity. North Caucasians do not want to be look like others or copy western style, they are proud of themselves and their uniqueness, and the modernization is not their prerogative in their life.
