/f/ in Georgian? 

Hi.  Do you have a source for your addition to the Georgian language page where you said that ფ is pronounced as /f/ when it corresponds to an /f/ sound in loan words from Greek and other languages?  It was (and is) my understanding that when foreign words containing /f/ are incorporated into Georgian, the sound is spelled as ფ, and the ფ is pronounced normally (as /pʰ/).  For example, პროფესია (profession, occupation) is pronounced /p'rɔpʰɛsia/ (not /p'rɔfɛsia/).  As far as I am aware, /f/ is not a separate phoneme in Georgian; rather, it occurs only as an alternative pronunciation of ვ before unvoiced consonants.  Admittedly, I only know a very small amount of Georgian, so I am not in a position to put myself forth as any sort of authority on this.   (talk · contribs)
