Tskhinvali (Georgian: ცხინვალი [ˈt͡sʰχinʷali] ) or Tskhinval (Ossetian: Цхинвал, Чъреба, romanized: Cxinval, Čreba, Ossetian pronunciation: [t͡sχinˈvɒɫ, ˈt͡ʃʼɾʲebɑ] ; Russian: Цхинвал(и), romanized: Tskhinval(i), [tsxʲɪnˈval(ʲɪ)]) is the capital of the disputed de facto independent Republic of South Ossetia, internationally considered part of Shida Kartli, Georgia (except by the Russian Federation and four other UN member states). Tskhinvali Region, known historically as Samachablo, was always part of the Georgian state as a single military and administrative entity.[3][neutrality is disputed] It is located on the Great Liakhvi River approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) northwest of the Georgian capital Tbilisi.
- ^ South Ossetia's status is disputed. It considers itself to be an independent state, but this is recognised by only a few other countries. The Georgian government and most of the world's other states consider South Ossetia de jure a part of Georgia's territory.
