The first phrase is Georgian for "Georgian language"; the second is (incorrect)
Russian for the same thing.  (The <zh> should be <z>.)

Because much of the literature on the language is in Russian, I included the
Russian term.

Sorry to confuse you.

Rich Alderson   You know the sort of thing that you can find in any dictionary
                of a strange language, and which so excites the amateur philo-
                logists, itching to derive one tongue from another that they
                know better: a word that is nearly the same in form and meaning
                as the corresponding word in English, or Latin, or Hebrew, or
                what not.
