"The Abkhazian language—related to the Georgian roughly as Breton is to French or Gaelic is to English—was not considered a problem inasmuch as the mother tongues of most Georgians are mutually unintelligible regional dialects."
Abkhaz is entirely unrelated to Georgian.
Breton is related to French and Gaelic is related to English but only to the same extent as Russian is related to English and French.
Most Georgians speak mutually intelligible dialects of Georgian.
The exceptions are Mingrelian and Svan -- two languages (definitely not dialects (and with their own dialects)) related to Georgian.

Abkhazes were thus given the status of titular nationality, while Ajaris were denied that status. This distinction made all the difference to the odds of violent conflict when the Soviet Union collapsed.
