Thank you for the elaborate explanation and history lesson about the generic term Goth. This will be very useful in history lessons. Even if many Nazis and right-wing radicals throw themselves into it to represent their political community of interests. By the way, it's always worth waiting for a video from you. Such attention to detail and quality is almost impossible to find on RU-vid anymore. Even if the algorithm demands quantity instead of quality. When suggesting a topic, one idea would be the history of the Wave Gothic Festival. The biggest event in Gothic culture.
You did another good job with this video it's nice of you for sharing this with people that do not know about them. As a matter of fact I learned 2 small new things from your videos thank you for that 👍🏻
14:10 The Vandalic and Burgundian languages were also east germanic ones. They were all extinct, leaving but a few traces of vocabulary (and perhaps phonology) on the romance languages they were in contact with
This is one of the rare cases when I'm actually proud that I've lived my whole life near the Baltic Sea. Thanks to that I have at least one common thing with the "original goths".😂
With the east germanic and west baltic (and likely the even more inbetween people) the inbetween people have been wipped out and there is a great gap between baltic and germanic people.
Gothic is a classical language and thus it appears achaic when compared to medival languages but in reality it doesnt seem to have been any more conservative than other germanic languages.
When reading latin you have to know the latin alphabet which is simple enough when you stop trying to apply the english great vowel shift to it, an a is an a not an ei. And then know that in classical latin the vowel diagraphs ae, oe, ... are pronounced ai, oi, ... thus foederati are foiderati.
