Where does the linguistic evidence fall in this regard. Is there a heavy
Gothic influence on Polish -- or are you dealing with "German" areas of
Poland -- how about gothic influence on Old Prussian -- or does your
theory force one to reconsider whether the Gothic Language was actually
spoken by the "Goths"?
