Samegrelo/Samargalo or Megrelia, Mingrelia ((グルジア語:სამეგრელო) ''Samegrelo''; ''Samargalo'') is a historic province in the western part of Georgia, formerly also known as Odishi. It is inhabited by the Megrelians, an ethnic subgroup of the Georgians. ==Geography and climate== Samegrelo is bordered by the secessionist region of Abkhazeti to the north-west, Svaneti to the north, Imereti to the east, Guria to the south and the Black Sea to the west. Administratively, the historic province of Samegrelo is incorporated joined with the northern part of the neighboring mountainous province of Svaneti to form the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region, the capital of which is Samegrelo's main city, Zugdidi. As it is the case with most Black Sea coastal areas of Georgia, Samegrelo's climate is subtropical with frequent rains. The coastal areas have many marshlands despite the Soviet Georgian authorities' efforts to dry them up. These marshlands contain many rare birds and animals not found in other parts of the country. For this reason, substantial part of the territories is protected by the Georgian law as part of the Colchetian Nature Reserve. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samegrelo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
