...Gothic is an extinct Germanic language that was spoken by the Goths. It is known primarily from the Codex Argenteus, a 6th century copy of a 4th century Bible translation, and is the only East Germanic language with a sizable corpus. All others, including Burgundian and Vandalic, are known, if at all, only from proper names that survived in historical accounts. Read full entry

What modern-day Germanic note: the reason I put this
under History rather than
Languages was because the
History visitors are probably
more likely to know what
Gothic really is (I didn't
want people thinking I was
talking about the Gothic
subculture)

Apparently, no living Germanic language is derived from Gothic - it was the only language of the East German family with (few) written texts, and vanished in the 4th century. The georgetown.edu link allows you to compare the Pater Noster prayer in all the Germanic languages, including Gothic. I couldn't say that any of them is closer - they all are pretty far away, both in the grammar and vocabulary. Have a look and pick one if you must :-) |

Taivo's classification is correct. But the fact that these represent three distinct branches of Germanic does not necessarily mean they must all be "equidistant" from each other, esp. when comparing two or three specific languages across the groups. In fact, there are many arguments for drawing a closer connection between the North & East Germanic branches. (And, more specifically, many argue a close connection between Gothic and the North Germanic language "Old Gutnish") Hence Gothic MAY be a BIT closer to Icelandic (a North Germanic language) than to Modern High German (a West Germanic language). But others would point to things that connect East and WEST Germanic. . . so its best not to be too dogmatic. |
