Apropos my remarks about Georgian in my January Diary (scroll down past ad), a friend e-mails thus:

Dear Mr Derbyshire,
Apropos of your fascination with the Georgian language, I thought you’d enjoy knowing that the Georgian Orthodox Church commemorates a feast day of the Georgian language, every Lazarus Saturday (the day before Palm Sunday). Better still, the 10th century hymnography for this feast refers to a belief that Georgian is the tongue in which the Last Judgment will be conducted:
“The Georgian tongue is preserved until the day of the Second Coming, in order to witness that God will rebuke all tongues by means of this tongue. . . . And this tongue, adorned and blessed in the Name of the Lord, humbled and oppressed, awaits the day of the Lord’s Second Coming.”
There are, of course, various interpretations to be had here, but I’m fond of the literal version.

[Me] Increasingly sure, as I am, that these are the Last Days, I shall keep my Georgian Grammar close to hand, in hopes that I shall be able to understand the great rebuking (rebuction?) when it comes.
