Georgian language

Georgian is the language of the Republic of Georgia. It is a Caucasian language, with influences from Russian, and to a lesser extent, Iranian. In the Georgian language, the word "mama" means father, and "deda" means mother, a reversal of the nearly universal "m for maternal, d for paternal" pattern for "baby-speak".
