Georgian is spoken by roughly 4 million people, mostly within Georgia, where it is the sole official language and the literary language for related Kartvelian tongues like Svan and Mingrelian. Written in its own Mkhedruli script — a distinctive, elegant alphabet unrelated to Latin, Cyrillic, or Greek — Georgian has been in continuous literary use for over 1,500 years, one of the world's oldest living writing systems.

There is no single famous national typing exam in Georgia, but keyboard fluency matters in the same practical ways it does everywhere: government digitization has expanded rapidly, and administrative, customer-service, translation, and data-entry roles in Tbilisi and beyond increasingly expect comfortable, accurate Georgian typing. For students and professionals moving between Latin-based software and Mkhedruli text, typing speed is also a real marker of how fluently someone can work across both scripts.

This test measures your Georgian typing speed with real Mkhedruli sentences, giving you a live WPM and accuracy score you can trust.

How Georgian Typing Speed Is Measured

Georgian typing speed is measured in WPM (words per minute), using the same five-characters-per-word convention applied internationally. Because Mkhedruli has no separate uppercase and lowercase forms and relatively few punctuation quirks compared to Latin scripts, WPM in Georgian tends to track closely with raw keystroke speed once a typist is comfortable with the layout.

Keyboard Layout and Special Characters

Georgian is typed using the Georgian (QWERTY-based) keyboard layout, which maps each of the 33 Mkhedruli letters to a Latin-keyboard key in roughly phonetic correspondence — for example, the key for Latin 'a' types Georgian 'ა'. There is no case distinction to manage, which simplifies the layout compared to Latin or Cyrillic scripts.

Georgian's literary heritage centers on Shota Rustaveli's 12th-century epic poem The Knight in the Panther's Skin (ვეფხისტყაოსანი), considered the cornerstone of Georgian national literature and still widely quoted today — a genuinely rich source of authentic Mkhedruli text for typing practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good Georgian typing speed?

40–55 WPM is comfortable for most office and customer-service work in Georgia, while 55+ WPM is considered professional-level typing in the Mkhedruli script.

Do I need a special keyboard to type in Georgian?

No — you can add the Georgian keyboard layout for free in Windows or Mac system settings, or use an on-screen virtual keyboard or transliteration tool if you're on a shared computer.

Does Georgian have uppercase and lowercase letters?

No, Mkhedruli script has a single case for all 33 letters, which simplifies typing compared to Latin or Cyrillic scripts.

How is WPM calculated on this test?

Every five typed characters, including spaces and punctuation, counts as one word. Net WPM subtracts a penalty for uncorrected errors, reflecting real usable output.

Is this typing test free?

Yes — completely free, no signup, no download, and unlimited attempts.
