[gothic-l] Verein der gotischen Sprache

[Dicentis a roellingua@gmail.com [gothic-l]]

Here you can see the lesson:

http://www.vereindergotischensprache.de/de/lernen/neogotisch/lektion1/text

There are good motivations, but I think most people which really want to
learn Gothic, just like me about a year ago, tend to write things in Gothic
which are incorrect. Therefore, I nowadays try to look up and read a lot in
the Gothic Bible to get a feeling of what is correct and what is not.

> Hello Edmund,
>
> The administrator of this website is the same administrator of the Gothic
> Wikipedia. The Verein der Gotischen Sprache looks rather like a local
> thing. The society has to be considered rather like a local thing. It's
> based in Germany somewhere and they have some Gothic study books and a
> website which has been showing the same word of the week for about a year
> now and a forum which isn't really visited.
>
> Also, don't trust the Neo-Gothic lessons. They have for example: Goþana
> dag, while it's supposed to be: Godana dag, as attested.
>
>
> I have plans with some other people to found an organization for a modern
> colloquial Gothic, one of our main reasons is that a serious language needs
> a standard organization for standard rules, we are still trying to find out
> how to do this.
>
> I know that we are lacking a Gothic website, the only problems are that I
> need enough people which want to contribute and a good lay-out and hosting,
> as it's only good if we have a real link to it like
> www.gothicassociation.com, or preferably:   gothicassociation.got, but
> .got are really expensive domains.
