When was gothic last

I have no knowledge ... ( 4 months ago by 20PercentMilk)

I have no knowledge of how or why it died. However, given that it's an old germanic language, I would say that it didn't really "die," but it just evolved
over time, splitting into different child languages, which eventually became distinguishable, mutually unintelligible, and eventually led to the rise of languages like English, German, Swedish, Dutch, etc... Again, this is not fact, but merely speculation from a language enthusiast.

@TheMasenko Well I ... ( 3 months ago by ANARCHYGOD2012)

@TheMasenko Well I would say in the 400s possibly the issue was that the visigoths were the most romanized of the germanic tribes so when they got to spain they assimilated fully and
started speaking latin which in turn there form of latin they spoke became spanish asturiano galego portugues etc

the only thing that ... ( 3 months ago by ANARCHYGOD2012)

the only thing that survives of visigoth language exist in spanish and other iberian languages a few words describing
war guerra etc but most of all the legacy is a visigothic pelayo founded asturias and descendants of visigoths are the ones who took spain back in reconquest from muslims

but lastly what survives of visigoths language in spanish is mostly surnames the names are rodrigo=roderick hence the ez which means son of as
in rodriguez gonzalez fernandez diaz pelayo valdes alfonso gustavo ricardo adolfo sancho=sanchez etc only saints names and names that start with al are not of visigothic origin

Array ( 3 months ago by MellonVegan)

It didn
´t. Gothic was spoken in the areas around Moldavia, southern France and Spain and the Anglo-Saxons, who went to Britain and spoke old English or something similar, came from somewhere around Germany. And the people who lived there emigrated from scandinavia, so the huge difference does make sense.
And after all this was one and a half millenia ago.

English. :/

Array ( 3 weeks ago by nanok44)

Are
they not like in Icelandic, þ being the initial consonant of þorn (English Thorn) and ð (eð) the initial consonant of English That? By the way, these symbols are sed in phonetics with these values.

Array ( 3 weeks ago by nanok44)

Det
är samma sak som på Islänska, tror jag. ð (eð) should sound as in English "that", the voiced version of this dental. þ (þorn) should sound as in Englis "thorn". BTW, both are used with those values in phonetics.

Array ( 3 weeks ago by nanok44)

Det
är samma sak som på Islänska, tror jag. ð (eð) should sound as in English "that", the voiced version of the dental written "th". þ (þorn) should sound as in Englis "thorn". BTW, both are used with those values in phonetics.

Sounds
a bit like Arabic. XD
