Word frequency lists include the 50000 most common words used in message 
board posts at forum.ge. No attempt has been made to reduce the list to 
headwords only. Phrase frequency lists are divided into separate files 
of 2 and 3-word phrases. Separate entries of phrases from an identical 
or very similar larger phrase often appear in the lists. This is 
because the list generator reads every combination of words in a single 
sentence, including phrases which are linked by the same word or words.

These files are probably the largest and most relevant lists of word 
and phrase frequencies bearing any resemblance to a colloquial usage of 
Georgian that are (currently) freely available on the internet. Over 20 
GB of data was downloaded from the source website and filtered by post 
content only. The following is a list of content which was filtered out:

  * Content from the forum section ყიდვა - გაყიდვა - გაცვლა. This 
    section includes a lot of redundant usage of words like ლარად 'for 
	lari' იყიდება 'is being sold' მოყვება 'is included' etc.
  * Quote blocks (although some outer content in nested quote blocks is 
    included due to parsing issues in the source)
  * References to user names in bold font (pervasive and extremely 
    common) and other content in bold font (uncommon)
  * Multiple subsequent occurrences of a single word (often to the 
    effect of "word spamming")
  * Words not containing any Georgian characters
  * Words containing numbers

Therefore any post content written using one or more different 
transliterated versions of the Roman alphabet (common elsewhere, e.g. 
Facebook posts, comment sections in articles, video portals, etc.) was 
ignored and not included in the lists. As a result of this and the list 
of ignored content above, only about half of the actual content 
accessed from  message board posts alone (and not including the the 
forum section ყიდვა - გაყიდვა - გაცვლა) was actually included in the 
analysis: only 22667472 out of 44472664 words were analyzed.

These lists should nevertheless prove to be a relevant source for 
anyone interested in obtaining a general profile of the most frequently 
used words and phrases in present-day colloquial Georgian.
