Khari (letter)

Khari, Hari, or Har (Asomtavruli: ; Nuskhuri: ; Mkhedruli: ჴ; Mtavruli: Ჴ; ) is the 35th letter of the three Georgian scripts.

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 7000. It represented the voiceless uvular (aspirated) plosive /q⁽ʰ⁾/. This letter is now obsolete due to it being gradually replaced by and pronounced as the letter ხ (khani, a voiceless uvular fricative /χ/). It is typically romanized with the letter Q, Qʼ, H̱, or X̣.
