==History== Svan is the most differentiated member of the four South-Caucasian languages and is believed to have split off in the [[2nd millennium BC]] or earlier, about one thousand years before [[Georgian language|Georgian]] and [[Zan languages|Zan]] split from each other. Soviet ethnologist [[Evdokia Kozhevnikova]] extensively documented the Svan language during her fieldwork in [[Svaneti]] in the 1920s and 1930s.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Dina Kozhevnikova: Ethnographical Records |publisher=[[Georgian National Museum]] |year=2023 |isbn=978-9941-9822-1-7 |editor-last=Kvantidze |editor-first=Gulnara |location=Tbilisi |editor-last2=Khizanashvili |editor-first2=Manana|lang=ka|last1=Margiani|first1=Ketevan|chapter=Texts in the Svan Language by Dina Kozhevnikova (Linguistic Analysis)|page=82}}</ref>
