I dunno about that. Georgian must be a terror for dyslexics:
no less than eight of the thirty-three letters look like the
number three! More seriously, Georgian has all sorts of
alternative scripts and fonts, all commonly used unlike those
in English, that make reading more difficult as one is first
learning it.
