Thwe language of Goths & Romanian etymologies

I think this can be cleared up reasonably simply:  Gothic is/was a 
Germanic language, and Thracian was an Indo-European language of some 
sort (though it's place in IE is uncertain) and Turkish, clearly, is not 
an Indo-European language.

Or, at least, those are how the terms "Gothic", "Thracian" and "Turkish" 
would be understood by mainstream professional linguists.  Alternate 
meanings for those terms would require, at least, some preliminery 
definition and explanation so that those of us familiar with the 
standard meanings could attempt to understand ....

Cheers,
Carl
