The Eastern Germanic languages are a branch of the Germanic languages, which are part of the larger Indo-European language family. This group primarily includes languages spoken by the Goths, Vandals, and Burgundians. These languages are now extinct, with the most notable being Gothic, which was used in the early centuries of the Common Era. Gothic is the best-documented Eastern Germanic language, with texts like the Bible translation by Wulfila in the 4th century. The Eastern Germanic languages played a significant role in the early history of Europe but eventually disappeared as speakers assimilated into other cultures and languages.
