Georgian nationalism
Georgian nationalism (Georgian: ქართული ნაციონალიზმი, romanized: kartuli natsionalizmi) is a nationalist ideology promoting Georgian national identity, the Georgian language and culture. == Emergence == Before the rise of nationalism, Georgia already possessed a strong pre-modern Georgian ethnic identity, which was rooted in unique historical consciousness recorded in the rich historiographical tradition, linguistic and religious identity, the sense of connection to one's land, the myth of chosenness, the conceptions about descendence from the common ancestor and the concept of "golden age".
