Chini, or Chin (Asomtavruli: Ⴙ; Nuskhuri: ⴙ; Mkhedruli: ჩ; Mtavruli: Ჩ; Georgian: ჩინი, ჩინ) is the 29th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]
In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 1000.[2]
Chini commonly represents the voiceless postalveolar (aspirated) affricate /tʃ⁽ʰ⁾/,[3] like the pronunciation of ⟨ch⟩ in "choose". It is typically romanized with the digraphs Ch, and Ch’, or with the letters Č, Č’, and Č‘.[4]
