The Gothic Language is an extinct East Germanic language that was spoken by the Goths, a group of tribes in Europe during the early centuries AD. It is one of the earliest recorded Germanic languages and is primarily known from the Codex Argenteus, a 6th-century manuscript containing a translation of the Bible. Gothic is significant for linguists as it provides insights into the development of the Germanic language family. It features unique phonetic and grammatical characteristics, distinguishing it from other Germanic languages like Old English and Old High German. The study of Gothic helps scholars understand the historical and cultural context of the Goths and their influence on European history.
