About the Gothic language

Описание к видео About the Gothic language

What do we think about when we hear the word "Gothic"? Most definitely we immediately think about a subculture or an architecture style. But the word has much deeper roots and another very different meaning. The Goths were a Germanic tribe who once dominated half of Europe. They had their language and their own writing system, both are now long forgotten. But who knows, maybe if history played out differently we would all be speaking Gothic now?
