What is "svans"

The Svans are an ethnic subgroup of the Georgians (Kartvelians) living mostly in Svaneti, a region in northwest Georgia. They speak the Svan language and are mostly bilingual also in Georgian. Both these languages belong to the Kartvelian (South Caucasian) language family. In the pre-1930 Soviet census, the Svans were afforded their own "ethnic group" (natsional'nost) category. The self-designation of the Svan is Mushüan, which is probably reflected in the ethnonym Misimian of the Classical authors.

Svans may refer to:

• Svans, an ethnic subgroup of the Georgians
• The Danish name for the Schwansen peninsula in Schleswig-Holstein in Germany.
• The large bird is correctly spelled " swan".
