Shini, or Shin (Asomtavruli: Ⴘ; Nuskhuri: ⴘ; Mkhedruli: შ; Mtavruli: Შ; Georgian: შინი, შინ) is the 28th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 900.[2] Shini commonly represents the voiceless postalveolar fricative /ʃ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨sh⟩ in "shoe". It is typically romanized with the digraph Sh or with the letter Š.[3]
