New conlang! I have been reviewing the Georgian language and alphabet, and I have to say, I find it beautiful. So, I made a language using the Georgian alphabet, and with a distinct Georgian atmosphere.

To start!

There are no capital letters in Çirkhin, and it only uses the Mkhedruli alphabet, not Asomtavruli or Nuskhuri.

Alphabet and phonemes.

ა an A a /ɑ/
ბ ban B b /b/
გ gan G g /ɡ/
დ don D d /d/
ე en E e /ɛ/
ვ vin V v /v/
ზ zen Z z /z/
თ tan T t /tʰ/
ი in I i /i/
კ k'an K' k' /kʼ/
ლ las L l /l/
მ man M m /m/
ნ nar N n /n/
ო on O o /ɔ/
პ p'ar P' p' /pʼ/
ჟ žan Zh zh /ʒ/
რ rae R r /r/
ს san S s /s/
ტ t'ar T' t' /tʼ/
უ un U u /u/
ფ par P p /pʰ/
ქ kan K k /kʰ/
ღ ğan Ğ ğ /ɣ/
ყ q'ar Q' q' /qʼ/
შ šin Sh, sh /ʃ/
ჩ čin Ch ch /tʃ/
ც can Ts ts /ts/
ძ jil Dz dz /dz/
წ c'il Ts' ts' /tsʼ/
ჭ č'ar Ch' ch' /tʃʼ/
ხ xan Kh kh /x/
ჯ jjar Jj,jj /dʒ/
ჰ han H, h /h/

Simple pronouns and noun markers.

I/me- კა
You(masc)/You (fem)- სა/ სე
He/ she/it- ღუ/ ღე
We- დაშ
You all (equivalent of french vous)- ღაშ
They (masc)/ they (fem)- ყუ/ყე

I will elaborate, now that finals are done I will have time to burn on hobbies like conlanging.

You may, but it is written in Georgian script anyway.

These are the only pronouns for now. I think i'll make it SOV, there seems to be a lot of SVO languages lately.

Declension for tense.

ჩირხინ ხენა has three basic tenses.

Present

Past

and Future.

The first non-proper noun in the sentence is always declined for tense.

The basic declensions are: (for -ქა (-k'a) nouns)

Present- none, use regular noun

Past- -ღიძ (ğidz) so 'I have a cow.' 'კა სალ გირუზქა ყაბიყ.' /ka sal giruzk'a qabiq/
would be 'კა სალ გირუზიღიძ ყაბაკ.' /ka sal giruziğidz qabak/ ( I had a cow)
note, if the noun does not end with a vowel after removing the -ქა ending then you add an ი /i/ before adding the declension.

Future- -დან (dan) so, the same sentence 'კა სალ გირუზქა ყაბიყ.' would conjugate to 'კა სალ გირუზიდან ყაბუყ.' /ka sal giruzidan qabuq/

Up next, CONJUGATION! what fun!

Sure, I meant to.

I/me-k'a
you(masc)- sa you(fem)- se
he/it- ğu she- ğe
we- daš
you (plural)- ğaš
they(masc)- qu they(fem)- qe

also, bit of a mix-up. ქ= k and კ= k' , not the other way around, as I showed in the romanizations of my declensions.

Thanks. two questions:
1. Is the ' in k'a a glottal stop?
2. How is the ğ pronounced without the IPA?

1. no, the ' indicates it is an ejective, here is a sound sample. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%CA%BC click the sound sample button under the general info.
2. here is a sound sample to show you how it is pronounced. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_velar_fricative
same deal.
