Thanks for these lovely dialect tables. I noticed an error though, in the Kartvelian table - the headers for Eastern and Western Georgian got switched around.

I just found this website, I'm looking forward to poking about some more!

Thanks for pointing out the mistake! I'm out of town for the moment, so I'll correct it when I get back. In Batumi for the moment - I'm about to cross the border in order to say "hello" to the Laz. Best Wishes, a.

...and now it's fixed! But, then I just noticed that the "Lak-Dargi" chart doesn't have a link to the bigger image...

(Can you guess my profession is software testing?)

Cheers--

PS: How -do- you say, Hello in Laz??
