The term "Vandalic" refers to the culture and language of the Vandals, a Germanic tribe that played a significant role in the history of Europe during the early Middle Ages. The Vandals are best known for their conquest of North Africa and the establishment of a kingdom there, which lasted from the 5th to the 6th century. Their language, also called Vandalic, is classified as a member of the East Germanic languages, though it is now extinct and known primarily through historical references. Vandalic culture was characterized by its warrior society and its interactions with other groups, such as the Romans and Goths. The Vandals are often remembered for their raids and the sacking of Rome in 455 AD
