Tani, or Tan (Asomtavruli: Ⴇ; Nuskhuri: ⴇ; Mkhedruli: თ; Mtavruli: Თ; Georgian: თანი, თან) is the 9th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 9.[2] Tani commonly represents the voiceless dental (aspirated) plosive /t̪⁽ʰ⁾/, roughly like the pronunciation of ⟨t⟩ in "time" or "tick". It is typically romanized with the letter T, T’ or Tʻ.[3]
