The lord´s prayer in gothic-Fader vår

There is a connection between Gotland, Poland, Crimea and Spain. All of them have had gothic-speaking populations.

Gotlandic still has east-germanic features left in their language as sheep "lamb". They don´t say galeedh(fonetic reconstr.) for travelled as in gothic, but "gläided". Gothic DIDN´T sound like frisian, dutch or english. It was a more nasal, deep-in-the-throat language. It sounded harsh like Zeelandic, where copenhagen is situated and also like high german and like some spanish central dialects. Castellano I think basicly was developed from the accent, which the visigoths had when they spoke latin. The language evolved, but the accent stayed.

@1PostPoMoMaN1 Estonia might also have gothic influence. Gotlanders/gutar/gutans, who later became known as goths, may havestarted to settle abroad, across the baltic sea..

And in Yiddish (also based on Medieval High German). Enjoy :) Undzer voter, vos bist in himl: geheylikt zol vern dayn nomen. Zol kumen dayn malkhes.

@raonipaes You are preaching.. =.-)

I like your pronounciation, but is there ANY proof of the original gothic pronounciations? As the goths did not christianize in the north, and the written language of the goths was not phonetic in any way, just as the vikings before the futhark was reformed. I feel like it was alot more influenced by the conquered than an original language after it reached the wistula, but i am maybe wrong.

@alarik36 well, in german I'm certain that W is live V, so I don't know about older germanic languages, but as far as my knowledge goes, W is like V in most older and modern germanic languanges.

@dfaltin Goths came from southern Sweden, and the island of Gotland they were called in antiquity the Gaetas or Gepids and spoke Eastern Germanic, they were constantly fighting with the Swedes, whom spoke a Northern Germanic language, finally the Swedes push them out in 300ad into Gotland and the main land of Europe, into Poland there the met the Vandals also eastern Germans, and push the Vandals into Spain, later the Goths took over Spain and push the Vandals into northern Africa.

Indeed, there are indisputable similarities between old Swedish and Gothic, coming from 8th and 9th centuries.

The westgothic law book is a milestone showing that the main evolutionary basis to old Swedish came from Gothic's phonetics and syntax.
