The capital of Georgia (the country).
Thursday, August 14th, 2008In connection with the recent military conflict between Georgia and Russia, why does all American television and radio news media unfailingly refer to Georgia’s capital as “Tiblisi?”
The capital is Tbilisi, not Tiblisi. T-b-i-l-i-s-i. Not T-i-b-l-i-s-i. That’s T’bi-li-si, not Tib-lee-see.
