Synopsis

Unlock the linguistic heritage of one of the world's most fascinating mountain regions with the English-Svanetian Dictionary.

Svan, an unwritten and highly archaic language belonging to the South Caucasian (Kartvelian) family, preserves ancient features of immense value to comparative linguistics and Caucasian studies. Originating from early British scholarly initiatives—such as the Oxford funds established to foster Kartvelian language research—this foundational lexicon was compiled to serve both the academic community and intrepid travelers exploring the high valleys of Svaneti.

Whether you are a philologist studying the historical grammar of the Caucasus, an anthropologist documenting regional folklore, or a researcher embarking on field studies in Western Georgia, this reference guide provides a vital, accessible bridge to the Svan language.

This volume stands as an invaluable addition to any institutional library, linguistic archive, or personal collection dedicated to Caucasian studies, Kartvelian linguistics, and Eurasian cultural history.
