Talk:Kartli

Question
I have a question: why is ქართლი translated into latin letters as Kartli, when it is actually Qartli? The same would apply to Qartuli - ქართული. Alsandro 09:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)


 * (Just in case anyone sees this six-year-old question:) There are several different transliteration systems in use when Georgian words are brought into English.  The Latin k is often used to represent კ, ქ, or even ყ — all of which are basically indistinguishable to native speakers of English.  It may not make perfect sense, but it's commonly done and is unlikely to change.  —  Rich wales 06:26, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
