[gothic-l] Re: The Vandalorum Museum

[czobor at CANTACUZINO.RO]

Hails allaim!

In my opinion, Bertil has not to aplogize.
I mt opinion (I repeat it again, maybe the the owner or other members 
of the group do think otherwise), while this is Gothic-L, where "L" is 
for "language", any discution about Gothic-speaking peoples other than 
Ostrogoths and Visigoths should not be connsidered off-topic. Because 
I understand that the Gepids and Vandals (regarded as "Gothic peoples" 
by Wolfram) spoke languages very close to Gothic, that can be regarded 
as Gothic dialects (of course, very little is attested in Gepidic and 
Vandalic, but there is indirect evidence that they spoke the same 
language as the Goths).
Me, for instance, am equally interested in Gothic, as well as in 
Gepidic and Vandalic.
