[gothic-l] Burgundians.

[Leonardo Hernandez-Cortez]

I've been wondering about something for a time now,
namely that, if the Burgundians did really come from
Bornholm, suggesting that it's their island hence
Burgundarholm as some tend to write it.
I don't know, but it seems a bit farfetched.
Did they really come from Bornholm, and if not, from
where ?
I've read as many times that they were west-germanic
as they were east-germanic, what were they originally
because maybe they with time blended with other
tribes.
Their language, was it really called Burgundian ?
If so, are there any writings left in Burgundian ?
And it's never been very clear(too many confusing
sources sometimes, mainly encyclopedias)but when did
they really cease to exist as an ethnic group/culture,
meaning, when did they really blend up completely with
the rest of France ?


Thank you in advance.

Yours Sincerely
Leonardo.
