Dear secretlondon, Nino Burdjanadzes husband is Badri Bizadze. He is no longer deputy prosecutor general. He became chief of the coast guard two weeks ago. Better read Georgian internet sources. ChrisM


 * I note it is more commonly spelt "Badri Bitsadze" in English. The version you give I cannot in fact find any uses of.  Morwen 22:47, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)


 * It's also spelled Bitzadze. I would go with Bitsadze but noting the variant spellings as well. -- ChrisO 23:49, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I don't know why Levzur keeps deleting the alternative transliteration of Burjanadze's name but I would guess that it's because it's a Russian-style transliteration; he seems to have a bad case of Russophobia. -- ChrisO 08:45, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * For the record, Google returns the following numbers of results:


 * Burjanadze - 8,760
 * Burdjanadze - 3,290
 * Burdzanadze - 121

 * The third spelling is Burdzhanadze - 5,360 hits, not Burdzanadze

 * For the sake of contrast now (October 2005), Google searches bring the following results.


 * Burjanadze - 58,500
 * Burdjanadze - 16,800
 * Burdzhanadze - 18,800


 * Burjanadze clearly seem to be the most widespread transliteration: Google results from
 * February 2006, Burdzhanadze seems to have significantly declined in use.


 * Burjanadze - 71,500
 * Burdjanadze - 20,200
 * Burdzhanadze - 16,900


 * Well, there definately seems to be little doubt which spelling format is gaining the most ground, here are comparisons from April 2004 to April 2006:


 * Burjanadze - 8,760 to 151,000
 * Burdjanadze - 3,290 to 29,400
 * Burdzhanadze - 5,360 to 29,400


 * We can anticipate the more English-friendly spelling becoming more widely used in the West as she becomes more famous, as she is the kind of politician the West likes and who wants the West to like her.

Choice of script in article
Look: I think it is nice that Wikipedia is giving names in Georgian in the Georgian alphabet, but why in the old, ecclesiastical script (khutsuri)? They should be in Mkhedruli, the modern civil script. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.105.137.137 (talk) 16:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I can't see anything in the Georgian-language text of this article (or any other article on a Georgian person or topic) that is choosing a script. As far as I know, this would be determined by the font settings in your browser and/or the fonts available on your computer.  If you go to the Georgian-language Wikipedia, what does the text there look like to you?  Richwales (talk) 16:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

IPA Pronunciation Issues
Issue 1:

The current IPA transcription uses [ ɪ ʊ  a ] -- but I'm seeing only / i  u  ɑ / in the Georgian language article.

Is the IPA here allophonic, or dialectical, or an error?

Issue 2:

Please add syllable-division marks (period/full stop) and (primary, secondary) syllable-stress marks [ˈ ˌ] if such stress exists in Georgian. (Note a stress mark also serves as a syllable-division mark when present.)

Issue 3:

Additionally a typical English pronunciation should be given as "in English: [IPA]".

As an edutated English speaker, knowing it is foreign and having never heard it spoken, I would by default say [ˈni:.no bʊr.dʒəˈnɑ:.dzɛi].

But this should be ascertained from news broadcasters -- and I fear my American compatriots who turn Myanmar into "My-ann-marr" might be problematic in this regard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.153.236 (talk) 10:01, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism
