Language: Georgian
Apparently one of the oldest languages in the world. The Georgian alphabet is thought to have been created in the 4th century BC. It is a unique language, not similar to any other language.

It kind of looks like the Roman alphabet done cursive ... with a little bit of Arabic thrown in for style. There are no capital letters, articles, or gender markers. Also, they string consonants together like crazy.

ცხვირი, (tskhviri), "nose"

ჩრდილოეთი, (črdiloeti), "north"
