Rae (Asomtavruli: ; Nuskhuri: ; Mkhedruli: რ or h; Mtavruli: Რ; Georgian: რაე) is the 19th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 100.[2] Rae commonly represents the voiced alveolar trill /r/,[3] like the pronunciation of ⟨r⟩ in "curd" (Scottish English) (often realized as the voiced alveolar flap /ɾ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨t⟩ in "water" in General American). It is typically romanized with the letter R.[4]
