[gothic-l] The Gothic and Eruli Proto-Vikings

[bertil]

Dirk,

Sorry, but that is exactly what you are
trying to do. That the Alemanni is regarded
as an original German people is easily
attested by the fact that Germany is called
Allemagne in French.

I, at least, seem to find a red line in your
postings. The list of example you present are
not, in my humble opinion, relevant.

Of course one can use the first classical
mentioning of a people as a basis but that
is rather safe if you want to argue that all
Germanic peoples originated in Germany, because
on their migratory path through Europe they
mostly happened to be in Germany.

Comparing nationalisms is always a dangerous
game, which I would rather not discuss on this
list, maybe on a Nationalism-L, if such a list
exists.

Gothically

Nobody wants to make Germanic people German.
(well, well)
