About Gothic
Gothic was an East Germanic language once spoken by the Goths in parts of eastern and southeastern Europe, especially around the Black Sea and later in areas reached during the Gothic migrations. It has no native speakers today and is generally considered extinct, though small liturgical or scholarly communities study and read it. Most surviving texts are written in the Gothic alphabet, a script created for the language and influenced mainly by Greek letters.
One distinctive feature of Gothic is that it preserves a relatively rich inflectional system, including grammatical case on nouns and a fuller set of older Germanic verb forms than most modern Germanic languages. Its most important monument is the Gothic Bible translation associated with the bishop Ulfilas, which makes Gothic the earliest Germanic language recorded in an extensive text and a key source for reconstructing early Germanic history.
