The Sound of the Modern Gothic language (Numbers, Greetings, Words & Sample Text)

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. I created this for educational purposes to spread awareness that we are diverse as a planet.
Special Thanks to Jausimidsus Waurdamelja
This is a modern project and not a descendant of Wulfilan Gothic.
As a Germanic language, Gothic is a part of the Indo-European language family.

If Gothic had survived past the 17th century I think it would have been the most archaic-leaning of the Germanic languages next to Icelandic.

[@elimalinsky7069]

Gothic was spoken until the 17th century in Crimea! It may sound a bit unbelievable, but it's true. The last remnant of Gothic as a continuous language was in Crimea.

[@mahatmaniggandhi2898]

true, just like how ancient egyptian was still a native language until 17th century :'(

[@Yoshimidsu]

Crimean 'Gothic' (reluctant to call it Gothic for reasons I shall get to) is certainly not a descendant of Wulfilan Gothic, since it has certain features which can't match the latter, e.g. certain sound changes. At best, it is a sister language, and has noticeable West Germanic elements in it. What we can call Gothic proper was attested until about the 11th century

[@wlobba]

Indeed, and it did evolve. For example the verb slepan (to sleep) turning into schlipen.

[@Innomenatus]

@@Yoshimidsu but those west germanic influences mightve been from transcription errors.

[@Yoshimidsu]

@@wlobba If you'd read my comment above, you'd've been pointed to Crimean not being a daughter of Gothic. They're separate languages which have similarities - this doesn't make one a descendant of the other, just like how Occitan is not a descendant of Castilian Spanish. For example: Crimean preserves Germanic /e/, whereas in Biblical Gothic it has become /i/ (e.g. Crimean “reghen” “suuester” vs. Biblical Gothic “rign” “swistar”); Crimean preserves Germanic /u/ before /r/, whereas Biblical Gothic has /ɔ/, e.g. Crimean “vvurt” vs. Biblical Gothic “waurþi”) - when sounds merge, they don't unmerge, indicating already that Crimean had diverged somewhat before or during Biblical Gothic. Vocabulary: “hus” is a productive word for ‘house’ in Crimean, whereas “razn” is used in Gothic and “-hûs” is no longer productive except in words like “gudhûs”; the words “apel” and “schuuester” look suspiciously similar to West Germanic (compare German “Apfel”, “Schwester”), especially when -uu- is a substitute for -vv- and thus -w-, and the unexplained addition of -ch- into Gothic “swistar”. This points to the two most popular hypotheses of Crimean ‘Gothic’ (understandably called so due to similarity with Gothic proper) - 1. Crimean is an East Germanic language with influence from West Germanic via merchant routes; 2. Crimean is a West Germanic language spoken by merchants who settled in Crimea where there was still some East Germanic influence. I personally favour 1. as more likely, though I'd like to make clear Crimean is almost certainly not a direct descendant of Gothic, since there are many discrepancies, and so we cannot be sure.

[@ramik81]

I like this. I like the idea of reviving dead languages. If Hebrew can be revived, whose to say Gothic can't. Also, I know there's ppl wanting to revive the Coptic language, the last remnants of the original Egyptian language. Mostly among Egyptians and the Coptic Church. But I've seen it picking up steam.

[@weirdlanguageguy]

Hebrew was really a special case though. Many Jews already spoke Hebrew for liturgical purposes, so it wasnt a far stretch to make it into a lingua franca once they were given their own nation state. The main problem with most of these types of revivalist movements is the difficulty in creating a good environment for the language to thrive

[@hoathanatos6179]

@@weirdlanguageguy Well Christian Egyptians still used Coptic as a liturgical language, just as Jews did with Hebrew, sp if enough non-Christian Egyptians got on board they could revive it as another national language beside Arabic.

[@PaulLovesVarvara]

*who's to say

[@ramik81]

@@weirdlanguageguy You're right about how Hebrew was a unique case. And, for that, I can guess Gothic won't have the same trajectory. But, you don't know where this would lead to. So it wouldn't hurt to revive the language amongst certain online groups for now, and see what happens. Personally, I've been noticing a sort of renaissance over dead or dieing languages all over the world. Ppl no longer care to create a monolanguage like generations past. They do it for cultural identity reasons, where they prefer to differ. For instance in Lousiana, there's a resurgence in preserving Louisiana French, which for a while now, was being forced to die out, for everyone to speak only English. Gothic is appealing, beyond most other dead languages I've come across. So, who knows where it would lead.

[@Yoshimidsu]

Exactly! My hope as a member of the revival (and submitter for this video) is that even if Gothic has no practical purpose for government, liturgy or direct heritage, reviving it would be a testament to the fact that any language can be revived with enough effort and community :)

This was fun and interesting! I studied Medieval Germanic Linguistics in graduate school, learned some Gothic in the mix. The narrator's accent sounded almost Finnish to me. We students practiced with more of a German accent. But it's really hard to know definitively how Gothic sounded--so it doesn't really matter too much how we reconstruct the phonology. I always thought it was fascinating that, like in modern Icelandic, a vowel before a double consonant is nasalized, as in 'gaggen' (pronounced gangen). Thanks for the video!

[@commentsections3099]

It sounds like Finnish and German mixed together.

[@ANTSEMUT1]

Probably because Finnish absorbed and conserved older Germanic words.

[@nordicsonofeurope5078]

I was thinking the same thing, the Goths do come from Sweden and Finland is not only next to Sweden but used to be a part of them, who knows maybe there is Germanic admixture to the Finnish language.

[@Yoshimidsu]

I think it's because I use a pronunciation with a retracted s, plus as Son of Europe mentions, very very lightly due to older connections though that's mainly East Germanic being more archaic than the other Germanic branches

[@ribdakse3970]

I've been doing a bit of reading on East Germanic peoples, and I've found the Gepids particularly interesting. They were alleged to still live in Avar territory in great numbers nearly a century after the Ostrogoths had been assimilated. If they more or less moved with the Avars they might have ended up around the north of Croatia, which is a bit far from the Balkan sprachbund. An interesting topic to explore, though, and not entirely improbable. Of course, we don't even know if the Gepids spoke anything close to Wulfilan Gothic, but it's much easier to assume for alternate history purposes that they did.

The Gothic "atta" (father) may be the etymon for "attan," a word for "father" common in many Southern Italian dialects (Basilicata, Puglia, etc.).

[@Leo-uu8du]

It is similar to most european words for "dad"(informal)/"father"(formal) In Austria we use "Tatti", "Tatta" / "Fådarn" In German it is "Papa" / "Vater" In Dutch it is "Pa(pa)" / "Vader" In Swedish: "pappa" / "far" In Italian: "Papa" / "Patre" In Latin: "Papa" / "Pater" In Irish: "daidí" / "athair" I read that the informal one is deeply influenced by your culture, which also influences how you hear the first words of a baby. That's why English and Southern German use different words than the other Germanic languages, but the same as the celtic ones. Gothic came into contact with Bavarian, so maybe it got "Atta" from there and just dropped the 't'. I mean it happend the other way round with Gothic words entering Bavarian, so why not?

[@Yoshimidsu]

Atta is also where the name Atilla likely comes from, meaning "little father" in Gothic (many personal names end in -ila, e.g. Wulfila)

[@bastianodimebag]

@@Leo-uu8du *papà/padre

[@diandradeeke]

"tatti" looks like "daddy" after the high german consonant shift

[@thurianwanderer]

​@@Leo-uu8du The word group "[t]ata" (including lenized variants [d]ada) is a beautiful example, how much we can look back through the window of time. Tatta, Tatto etc. is also common in the Cimbrian dialect (of course mainly going back to Western Old Bavarian itself, with a little influence of Alemannic probably and faint / mysterious remnants of Longobardic). Even Swabian had Atti, Ätte, Ätti, Ätt', but it became rare already in the 18th and 19th century. Mertens ("Versuch eines augsburgischen Idiotikons" 1789) lists "Addi" (dummer Kerl), but "Daddi" (father). In the High Alemannic area, especially within Switzerland, it is widely used Ätti, Ätt'. The more conservative High Alemannic Walser dialect keeps an almost Old High German form atto, resp. lowered attu (as attested by Walahfrid around 820 "atto"). The interesting point about the geographical High German examples is, if we consider the second consonant shift, Germanic *atta[n], Gothic "atta", West Germanic "*atta, atto" should have become Old High German "*azzo". Due to their nature, related to onomatopoeic words, belonging to "babble words" produced by children, such words are reproduced on their own throughout time, independently, common to all languages, therefore the sequence ta-ta, a-ta remained in German as well alongside pa-pa. Nevertheless, some personal names indicate a second variant that underwent the second sound shift. For Longobardic "*azzo" is reconstructed, we don't know to what extant the other Old Upper German dialects had an "*azzo", but there were dozens of names Azzo, Atzo (in many cases they are shortened nicknames related to Adal-names, Cunzo < Cuni-, probably not in all cases though). A more prominent example should be Gothic diminutive "Attila", such a name must have been known in early West Germanic regions "*Attila, Attilo", as the Old High German form "Azzilo" (Atzilo), soon with umlaut "Ezzilo" (Etzilo) perfectly developed into Middle High German Ezzele (Etzele) of the Nibelungenlied.

[@Yoshimidsu]

Gothic is an East Germanic language, sister to Vandalic & Burgundian, and more distantly related to other Germanic languages, e.g. the Scandinavian languages, English, German and Dutch. It went extinct around the 11th Century AD. Modern Gothic is a revival of the old language adapted for a modern world, with new loanwords etc. for new concepts and names.

[@clujromanialinkin]

The language of the Goths, an east-germanic extinct people/confederation of tribes of the antiquity/late antiquity, with very probable high mix of sarmatians/scythians, slavs, balts, free dacians, roman desertors, alans, vandals, gepids etc, that fought for and against the romans, on and off in the second, third, fourth and fifth century, coming from the Vistula basin or from Scandinavia, settling north of the Black Sea and in Dacia around the turn of the second century (modern day Ukraine, Moldavia and Romania). Many of them were settled and resettled throughout the balkans, gaining the status of foederati (foreign troops fighting for the romans), then breaking the foedus, the relationship between the Romans and the Goths always being somehow tense. Later, being pushed westwards by the Huns, the first major non-european people to ravage Europe, they began raiding throughout the Empire, sacking Rome in 410, the first time after 800 years, dealing one of the final blows to the Western Roman empire, setting the stage for its final days and then, when the mighty Western Roman Empire technically fell, they created two kingdoms: Ostrogothic Italy (which lasted only a few decades in essence) and Visigothic Spain, which lasted from 418 AD until 711 AD, when the islamic berbers conquered Spain/Iberia. The legacy of the Visigothic kingdom continued to live on through Pelagio/Pelayo, who created the kingdom of Asturias on the northern coast of Spain and who set the stage for the Spanish reconquista, a process of reconquering Spain, lasting 500 years and then lived on to the colonization era.

[@Yoshimidsu]

Gothic is an East Germanic language, sister to Vandalic & Burgundian, and more distantly related to other Germanic languages, e.g. the Scandinavian languages, English, German and Dutch. East Germanic split off from the rest of the Germanic languages relatively early (~0AD), meaning they are much more distinct and seem more unique compared to how similar Scandinavian languages or German and Dutch are to each other.

[@HeadsFullOfEyeballs]

It's an extinct East Germanic language. The Goths were an ancient Germanic people that migrated all over Europe during the late Roman period.

It was the language of Goths, a population originates from present day Ukraine the settled in present day Italy and Spain. Gothic is East Germanic while modern German, for example is west Germanic. It was influenced by Greek, Slavic, Latin and probably other language of these areas

Found a couple of cognates in Armenian Woman: Got. - qino Armenian - kin (կին) Brother-in-law: Got. - taikaurs Armenian - tagr or tegr (տագր, տեգր)

[@aggelosluci2306]

How do we know the Gothic language was like that? Do we have scripts that we have the translation of them as well?

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

I thought this video was inspired by Crimean Gothic texts

[@canesvenatici4259]

I wonder if Goths will start to talk like this…

[@user-df4gz5dc4g]

[@petermeisenstein3752]

I thought gothic is dead

[@user-hv1dn3le5c]

It's quiet strange, isn't it?

[@ilovelanguages0124]

Please read the description.

[@user-hv1dn3le5c]

Okey.

[@Vagabund92]

[@SlemtexSlem]

It is. This is a Gothic conlang (not to be confused with the actual extinct language of the Goths)

To me it sounds like a very strange germanic language with a northern sami accent

[@dirckthedork-knight1201]

There seems to be some greek in this

[@gio_toro856]

Jajsjajaja in Spanish say gato like in Gothic katto

[@HughesC]

Esta palabra viene del latín que viene del punico últimamente

[@gael9977]

"swaighro" and "swaighra" sounds similar to Spanish Suegro and Suegra

[@hugotehspartanalt6061]

Hes upside German

[@bagusbaskoro2207]

1:12 sounds like "Walaah" in Indonesian/Javanese :D

[@paleosaurlithgraphica2989]

Gothic "Walla" comes from an Arabic loan. Does "Walaah" derive from Arabic too?

[@bagusbaskoro2207]

@@paleosaurlithgraphica2989 Wow, it probably is! Because our loan words from Arabic is quite significant

[@12hoodiebruv]

Aurts /'orts/ - gothic (plant), Orto - italian (vegetable garden)

[@japaneseapoist286]

Modern Indo European language please.

[@ulfr-gunnarsson]

Some serious requests out there 😎 But almost impossible, as Proto-Indo-European isn't an attested language. It's a result of a linguistic reconstruction through the comparative method. The language in the video is basically Old Gothic with added vocabulary for various concepts unknown to the speakers of Old Gothic, and thus based on existing material of Old Gothic.

[@ServantOfOdin]

Some of these things sound almost Samish.

[@richlisola1]

Some of the pronunciation sounds like Latin
