As a Germanic language, Gothic is a part of the <a href="/wiki/Indo-European_languages" title="Indo-European languages">Indo-European language</a> family. It is the earliest Germanic language that is attested in any sizable texts, but it lacks any modern descendants. The oldest documents in Gothic date back to the fourth century. The language was in decline by the mid-sixth century, partly because of the military defeat of the Goths at the hands of the <a href="/wiki/Franks" title="Franks">Franks</a>, the elimination of the Goths in Italy, and geographic isolation (in Spain, the Gothic language lost its last and probably already declining function as a church language when the <a href="/wiki/Visigoths" title="Visigoths">Visigoths</a> converted from <a href="/wiki/Arianism" title="Arianism">Arianism</a> to <a href="/wiki/Nicene_Christianity" title="Nicene Christianity">Nicene Christianity</a> in 589).<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> The language survived as a domestic language in the <a href="/wiki/Iberian_Peninsula" title="Iberian Peninsula">Iberian Peninsula</a> (modern-day Spain and Portugal) as late as the eighth century. Gothic-seeming terms are found in manuscripts subsequent to this date, but these may or may not belong to the same language. A language known as <a href="/wiki/Crimean_Gothic" title="Crimean Gothic">Crimean Gothic</a> survived in the lower <a href="/wiki/Danube" title="Danube">Danube</a> area and in isolated mountain regions in <a href="/wiki/Crimea" title="Crimea">Crimea</a> as late as the second half of the 18th century. Lacking certain sound changes characteristic of Gothic, however, Crimean Gothic cannot be a lineal descendant of the language attested in the Codex Argenteus.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStearns1978118-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-Stearns-Dialektzugehörigkeit-6">[6]</a> The existence of such early attested texts makes Gothic a language of considerable interest in <a href="/wiki/Comparative_linguistics" title="Comparative linguistics">comparative linguistics</a>. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History_and_evidence">History and evidence</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Gothic_language&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History and evidence">edit</a>]</div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ambrosianus.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Ambrosianus.jpg/240px-Ambrosianus.jpg" decoding="async" width="240" height="270" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Ambrosianus.jpg/360px-Ambrosianus.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Ambrosianus.jpg/480px-Ambrosianus.jpg 2x" data-file-width="842" data-file-height="946" /></a><figcaption>A leaf of the Codex Ambrosianus B</figcaption></figure> Only a few documents in Gothic have survived – not enough for a complete reconstruction of the language.

Ulfilas's Gothic, as well as that of the Skeireins and various other manuscripts, was written using an alphabet that was most likely invented by Ulfilas himself for his translation. Some scholars (such as Braune) claim that it was derived from the <a href="/wiki/Greek_alphabet" title="Greek alphabet">Greek alphabet</a> only while others maintain that there are some Gothic letters of <a href="/wiki/Runic" class="mw-redirect" title="Runic">Runic</a> or <a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a> origin. A standardized system is used for transliterating Gothic words into the <a href="/wiki/Latin_script" title="Latin script">Latin script</a>. The system mirrors the conventions of the native alphabet, such as writing long /iː/ as ei. The Goths used their equivalents of e and o alone only for long higher vowels, using the digraphs ai and au (much as in <a href="/wiki/French_orthography" title="French orthography">French</a>) for the corresponding short or lower vowels. There are two variant spelling systems: a "raw" one that directly transliterates the original Gothic script and a "normalized" one that adds <a href="/wiki/Diacritic" title="Diacritic">diacritics</a> (<a href="/wiki/Macron_(diacritic)" title="Macron (diacritic)">macrons</a> and <a href="/wiki/Acute_accent" title="Acute accent">acute accents</a>) to certain vowels to clarify the pronunciation or, in certain cases, to indicate the <a href="/wiki/Proto-Germanic" class="mw-redirect" title="Proto-Germanic">Proto-Germanic</a> origin of the vowel in question. The latter system is usually used in the academic literature.

It signals distinctions not made by Ulfilas in his alphabet. Rather, they reflect various origins in Proto-Germanic. Thus, <ul><li><big>aí</big> is used for the sound derived from the Proto-Germanic short vowels e and i before /h/ and /r/.</li> <li><big>ái</big> is used for the sound derived from the Proto-Germanic <a href="/wiki/Diphthong" title="Diphthong">diphthong</a> ai. Some scholars have considered this sound to have remained as a diphthong in Gothic. However, Ulfilas was highly consistent in other spelling inventions, which makes it unlikely that he assigned two different sounds to the same digraph. Furthermore, he consistently used the digraph to represent Greek αι, which was then certainly a <a href="/wiki/Monophthong" title="Monophthong">monophthong</a>. A monophthongal value is accepted by <a href="/wiki/Eduard_Prokosch" title="Eduard Prokosch">Eduard Prokosch</a> in his influential A Common Germanic Grammar.<a href="#cite_note-Prokosch-13">[13]</a> It had earlier been accepted by <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Wright_(linguist)" title="Joseph Wright (linguist)">Joseph Wright</a> but only in an appendix to his Grammar of the Gothic Language.<a href="#cite_note-Wright-14">[14]</a></li> <li><big>ai</big> is used for the sound derived from the Common Germanic long vowel ē before a vowel.</li> <li><big>áu</big> is used for the sound derived from Common Germanic diphthong au. It cannot be related to a Greek digraph, since αυ then represented a sequence of a vowel and a spirant (<a href="/wiki/Fricative_consonant" class="mw-redirect" title="Fricative consonant">fricative</a>) consonant, which Ulfilas transcribed as aw in representing Greek words. Nevertheless, the argument based on simplicity is accepted by some influential scholars.<a href="#cite_note-Prokosch-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-Wright-14">[14]</a></li></ul></li> <li>The "normal environment of occurrence" refers to native words. In foreign words, these environments are often greatly disturbed. For example, the short sounds /ɛ/ and /i/ alternate in native words in a nearly <a href="/wiki/Allophone" title="Allophone">allophonic</a> way, with /ɛ/ occurring in native words only before the consonants /h/, /hʷ/, /r/ while /i/ occurs everywhere else (nevertheless, there are a few exceptions such as /i/ before /r/ in hiri, /ɛ/ consistently in the <a href="/wiki/Reduplication" title="Reduplication">reduplicating</a> syllable of certain past-tense verbs regardless of the following consonant, which indicate that these sounds had become phonemicized). In foreign borrowings, however, /ɛ/ and /i/ occur freely in all environments, reflecting the corresponding vowel quality in the source language.</li> <li>Paradigmatic alterations can occur either intra-paradigm (between two different forms within a specific <a href="/wiki/Linguistic_paradigm" class="mw-redirect" title="Linguistic paradigm">paradigm</a>) or cross-paradigm (between the same form in two different paradigms of the same class). Examples of intra-paradigm alternation are gawi /ɡa.wi/ "district (<abbr title="nominative">nom.</abbr>)" vs. gáujis /ɡɔː.jis/ "district (<abbr title="genitive">gen.</abbr>)"; mawi /ma.wi/ "maiden (<abbr title="nominative">nom.</abbr>)" vs. máujōs /mɔː.joːs/ "maiden (<abbr title="genitive">gen.</abbr>)"; þiwi /θi.wi/ "maiden (<abbr title="nominative">nom.</abbr>)" vs. þiujōs /θiu.joːs/ "maiden (<abbr title="genitive">gen.</abbr>)"; taui /tɔː.i/ "deed (<abbr title="nominative">nom.</abbr>)" vs. tōjis /toː.jis/ "deed (<abbr title="genitive">gen.</abbr>)"; náus /nɔːs/ "corpse (<abbr title="nominative">nom.</abbr>)" vs. naweis /na.wiːs/ "corpses (<abbr title="nominative">nom.</abbr>)"; triu /triu/?? "tree (<abbr title="nominative">nom.</abbr>)" vs. triwis /tri.wis/ "tree (<abbr title="genitive">gen.</abbr>)"; táujan /tɔː.jan/ "to do" vs. tawida /ta.wi.ða/ "I/he did"; stōjan /stoː.jan/ "to judge" vs. stauida /stɔː.i.ða/ "I/he judged". Examples of cross-paradigm alternation are Class IV verbs qiman /kʷiman/ "to come" vs. baíran /bɛran/ "to carry, to bear", qumans /kʷumans/ "(having) come" vs. baúrans /bɔrans/ "(having) carried"; Class VIIb verbs lētan /leː.tan/ "to let" vs. saian /sɛː.an/ "to sow" (note similar preterites laílōt /lɛ.loːt/ "I/he let", saísō /sɛ.soː/ "I/he sowed"). A combination of intra- and cross-paradigm alternation occurs in Class V sniwan /sni.wan/ "to hasten" vs. snáu /snɔː/ "I/he hastened" (expected *snaw, compare qiman "to come", qam "I/he came").</li> <li>The carefully maintained alternations between iu and iw suggest that iu may have been something other than /iu/. Various possibilities have been suggested (for example, high central or high back unrounded vowels, such as [ɨ] [ʉ] [ɯ]); under these theories, the spelling of iu is derived from the fact that the sound alternates with iw before a vowel, based on the similar alternations au and aw. The most common theory, however, simply posits /iu/ as the pronunciation of iu.</li> <li>Macrons represent long ā and ū (however, long i appears as ei, following the representation used in the native alphabet). Macrons are often also used in the case of ē and ō; however, they are sometimes omitted since these vowels are always long. Long ā occurs only before the consonants /h/, /hʷ/ and represents <a href="/wiki/Proto-Germanic" class="mw-redirect" title="Proto-Germanic">Proto-Germanic</a> nasalized /ãː(h)/ < earlier /aŋ(h)/; non-nasal /aː/ did not occur in Proto-Germanic. It is possible that the Gothic vowel still preserved the nasalization, or else that the nasalization was lost but the length distinction kept, as has happened with <a href="/wiki/Lithuanian_language" title="Lithuanian language">Lithuanian</a> ą. Non-nasal /iː/ and /uː/ occurred in Proto-Germanic, however, and so long ei and ū occur in all contexts. Before /h/ and /hʷ/, long ei and ū could stem from either non-nasal or nasal long vowels in Proto-Germanic; it is possible that the nasalization was still preserved in Gothic but not written.</li></ul> The following table shows the correspondence between spelling and sound for consonants: <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Gothic Letter</th> <th>Roman</th> <th>Sound (phoneme)</th> <th>Sound (allophone)</th> <th>Environment of occurrence</th> <th>Paradigmatically alternating sound, in other environments</th> <th>Proto-Germanic origin </th></tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2">𐌱</td> <td rowspan="2">b</td> <td rowspan="2">/<a href="/wiki/Voiced_bilabial_plosive" title="Voiced bilabial plosive">b</a>/</td> <td>[<a href="/wiki/Voiced_bilabial_plosive" title="Voiced bilabial plosive">b</a>]</td> <td>Word-initially;

Since the Greek of that period is well documented, it is possible to reconstruct much of Gothic pronunciation from translated texts.

Researchers have disagreed over whether they were still pronounced as diphthongs /ai̯/ and /au̯/ in Ulfilas's time (4th century) or had become long open-mid vowels: /ɛː/ and /ɔː/: ains [ains] / [ɛːns] "one" (German eins, Icelandic einn), augo [auɣoː] / [ɔːɣoː] "eye" (German Auge, Icelandic auga). It is most likely that the latter view is correct, as it is indisputable that the digraphs ⟨ai⟩ and ⟨au⟩ represent the sounds /ɛː/ and /ɔː/ in some circumstances (see below), and ⟨aj⟩ and ⟨aw⟩ were available to unambiguously represent the sounds /ai̯/ and /au̯/. The digraph ⟨aw⟩ is in fact used to represent /au/ in foreign words (such as Pawlus "Paul"), and alternations between ⟨ai⟩/⟨aj⟩ and ⟨au⟩/⟨aw⟩ are scrupulously maintained in paradigms where both variants occur (e.g. taujan "to do" vs. past tense tawida "did"). Evidence from transcriptions of Gothic names into Latin suggests that the sound change had occurred very recently when Gothic spelling was standardized: Gothic names with Germanic au are rendered with au in Latin until the 4th century and o later on (Austrogoti > Ostrogoti). The digraphs ⟨ai⟩ and ⟨au⟩ are normally written with an accent on the first vowel (ái, áu) when they correspond to Proto-Germanic /ai̯/ and /au̯/.</li> <li>Long [ɛː] and [ɔː] also occur as allophones of /eː/ and /uː, oː/ respectively before a following vowel: waian [wɛːan] "to blow" (Dutch waaien, German wehen), bauan [bɔːan] "to build" (Dutch bouwen, German bauen, Icelandic búa "to live, reside"), also in Greek words Trauada "Troad" (Gk. Τρῳάς). In detailed transcription these are notated ai, au.</li> <li>The existence of a vowel /y/ in Gothic is unclear. It is derived from the use of w to transcribe Greek υ (y) or the diphthong οι (oi), both of which were pronounced [y] in the Greek of the time. W is otherwise used to denote the consonant /w/). It may have been pronounced [i].<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMiller201933-19">[19]</a></li> <li>/iu/ is usually reconstructed as a falling diphthong ([iu̯]: diups [diu̯ps] "deep" (Dutch diep, German tief, Icelandic djúpur), though this has been disputed (see <a href="#Alphabet_and_transliteration">alphabet and transliteration</a> section above).</li> <li>Greek diphthongs: In Ulfilas's era, all the diphthongs of Classical Greek had become simple vowels in speech (<a href="/wiki/Monophthong" title="Monophthong">monophthongization</a>), except for αυ (au) and ευ (eu), which were probably pronounced [aβ] and [ɛβ] (they evolved into [av~af] and [ev~ef] in <a href="/wiki/Modern_Greek" title="Modern Greek">Modern Greek</a>.) Ulfilas notes them, in words borrowed from Greek, as aw and aiw, probably pronounced [au̯, ɛu̯]: Pawlus [pau̯lus] "Paul" (Gk.

It seems likely that this is more of an instance of phonetic juxtaposition than of true diphthongs (such as, for example, the sound /aj/ in the French word paille ("straw"), which is not the diphthong /ai̯/ but rather a vowel followed by an <a href="/wiki/Approximant" title="Approximant">approximant</a>): alew [aleːw] "olive oil" ( < Latin oleum), snáiws [snɛːws] ("snow"), lasiws [lasiws] "tired" (English lazy).</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Consonants">Consonants</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Gothic_language&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Consonants">edit</a>]</div> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"> <tbody><tr> <th>  </th> <th colspan="2"><a href="/wiki/Labial_consonant" title="Labial consonant">Labial</a> </th> <th colspan="2"><a href="/wiki/Dental_consonant" title="Dental consonant">Dental</a> </th> <th colspan="2"><a href="/wiki/Alveolar_consonant" title="Alveolar consonant">Alveolar</a> </th> <th colspan="2"><a href="/wiki/Palatal_consonant" title="Palatal consonant">Palatal</a> </th> <th colspan="2"><a href="/wiki/Velar_consonant" title="Velar consonant">Velar</a> </th> <th colspan="2"><a href="/wiki/Labialized_velar_consonant" title="Labialized velar consonant">Labiovelar</a> </th> <th><a href="/wiki/Glottal_consonant" title="Glottal consonant">Glottal</a> </th></tr> <tr> <th><a href="/wiki/Nasal_consonant" title="Nasal consonant">Nasal</a> </th> <td colspan="2">m <a href="/wiki//m/" class="mw-redirect" title="/m/">/m/</a> </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td colspan="2">n <a href="/wiki//n/" class="mw-redirect" title="/n/">/n/</a> </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td colspan="2">g, n <a href="/wiki//%C5%8B/" class="mw-redirect" title="/ŋ/">/ŋ/</a> </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td>  </td></tr> <tr> <th><a href="/wiki/Stop_consonant" class="mw-redirect" title="Stop consonant">Stop</a> </th> <td>p <a href="/wiki//p/" class="mw-redirect" title="/p/">/p/</a> </td> <td>b <a href="/wiki//b/" title="/b/">/b/</a> </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td>t <a href="/wiki//t/" class="mw-redirect" title="/t/">/t/</a> </td> <td>d <a href="/wiki//d/" class="mw-redirect" title="/d/">/d/</a> </td> <td colspan="2">ddj /ɟː/?[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] </td> <td>k <a href="/wiki//k/" class="mw-redirect" title="/k/">/k/</a> </td> <td>g <a href="/wiki//%C9%A1/" class="mw-redirect" title="/ɡ/">/ɡ/</a> </td> <td>q <a href="/wiki/K%CA%B7" class="mw-redirect" title="Kʷ">/kʷ/</a> </td> <td>gw <a href="/wiki/%EA%9E%AC%CA%B7" class="mw-redirect" title="Ɡʷ">/ɡʷ/</a> </td> <td>  </td></tr> <tr> <th><a href="/wiki/Fricative_consonant" class="mw-redirect" title="Fricative consonant">Fricative</a> </th> <td>f <a href="/wiki//%C9%B8/" class="mw-redirect" title="/ɸ/">/ɸ/</a> </td> <td>b <a href="/wiki//%CE%B2/" class="mw-redirect" title="/β/">/β/</a> </td> <td>þ <a href="/wiki//%CE%B8/" class="mw-redirect" title="/θ/">/θ/</a> </td> <td>d <a href="/wiki//%C3%B0/" class="mw-redirect" title="/ð/">/ð/</a> </td> <td>s <a href="/wiki/Voiceless_alveolar_sibilant" class="mw-redirect" title="Voiceless alveolar sibilant">/s/</a> </td> <td>z <a href="/wiki//z/" class="mw-redirect" title="/z/">/z/</a> </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td>g, h <a href="/wiki/Voiceless_velar_fricative" title="Voiceless velar fricative">/x/</a> </td> <td>g <a href="/wiki//%C9%A3/" class="mw-redirect" title="/ɣ/">/ɣ/</a> </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td>h <a href="/wiki//h/" class="mw-redirect" title="/h/">/h/</a> </td></tr> <tr> <th><a href="/wiki/Approximant_consonant" class="mw-redirect" title="Approximant consonant">Approximant</a> </th> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td colspan="2">l <a href="/wiki//l/" class="mw-redirect" title="/l/">/l/</a> </td> <td colspan="2">j <a href="/wiki//j/" class="mw-redirect" title="/j/">/j/</a> </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td>ƕ <a href="/wiki//%CA%8D/" class="mw-redirect" title="/ʍ/">/ʍ/</a> </td> <td>w <a href="/wiki//w/" class="mw-redirect" title="/w/">/w/</a> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <th><a href="/wiki/Trill_consonant" title="Trill consonant">Trill</a> </th> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td colspan="2">r <a href="/wiki/Voiced_dental,_alveolar_and_postalveolar_trills" title="Voiced dental, alveolar and postalveolar trills">/r/</a> </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td colspan="2">  </td> <td>  </td></tr></tbody></table> In general, Gothic consonants are <a href="/wiki/Final_devoicing" class="mw-redirect" title="Final devoicing">devoiced</a> at the ends of words. Gothic is rich in fricative consonants (although many of them may have been <a href="/wiki/Approximant" title="Approximant">approximants</a>; it is hard to separate the two) derived by the processes described in <a href="/wiki/Grimm%27s_law" title="Grimm's law">Grimm's law</a> and <a href="/wiki/Verner%27s_law" title="Verner's law">Verner's law</a> and characteristic of <a href="/wiki/Germanic_languages" title="Germanic languages">Germanic languages</a>.

Furthermore, the doubling of written consonants between vowels suggests that Gothic made distinctions between long and short, or <a href="/wiki/Gemination" title="Gemination">geminated</a> consonants: atta [atːa] "dad", kunnan [kunːan] "to know" (Dutch kennen, German kennen "to know", Icelandic kunna). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Stops">Stops</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Gothic_language&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Stops">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li>The voiceless stops /p/, /t/ and /k/ are regularly noted by p, t and k respectively: paska [paska] "Easter" (from the Greek πάσχα), tuggo [tuŋɡoː] "tongue", kalbo [kalboː] "calf".</li> <li>The letter q is probably a <a href="/wiki/Labialized_voiceless_velar_plosive" class="mw-redirect" title="Labialized voiceless velar plosive">voiceless labiovelar stop</a>, /kʷ/, comparable to the Latin qu: qiman [kʷiman] "to come".

It was probably pronounced [h] in word-final position and before a consonant as well (not [x], since /ɡ/ > [x] is written g, not h): jah [jah] "and" (Dutch, German, Scandinavian ja "yes").</li> <li>[x] is an allophone of /ɡ/ at the end of a word or before a voiceless consonant; it is always written g: dags [daxs] "day" (German Tag). In some borrowed Greek words is the special letter x, which represents the Greek letter χ (ch): Xristus [xristus] "Christ" (Gk. Χριστός).</li> <li>[β], [ð] and [ɣ] are voiced fricative found only in between vowels. They are <a href="/wiki/Allophones" class="mw-redirect" title="Allophones">allophones</a> of /b/, /d/ and /ɡ/ and are not distinguished from them in writing. [β] may have become /v/, a more stable labiodental form. In the study of Germanic languages, these phonemes are usually transcribed as ƀ, đ and ǥ respectively: haban [haβan] "to have", þiuda [θiu̯ða] "people" (Dutch Diets, German Deutsch, Icelandic þjóð > English Dutch), áugo [ɔːɣoː] "eye" (English eye, Dutch oog, German Auge, Icelandic auga). When occurring after a vowel at the end of a word or before a voiceless consonant, these sounds become unvoiced [ɸ], [θ] and [x], e.g. hláifs [hlɛːɸs] "loaf" but genitive hláibis [hlɛːβis] "of a loaf", plural hláibōs [hlɛːβoːs] "loaves".</li> <li>ƕ (also transcribed hw) is the labiovelar equivalent of /x/, derived from Proto-Indo-European *kʷ. It was probably pronounced [ʍ] (a voiceless [w]), as wh is pronounced in certain dialects of English and in Scots: ƕan /ʍan/ "when", ƕar /ʍar/ "where", ƕeits [ʍiːts] "white".</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Sonorants">Sonorants</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Gothic_language&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Sonorants">edit</a>]</div> Gothic has three nasal consonants, one of which is an allophone of the others, all found only in <a href="/wiki/Complementary_distribution" title="Complementary distribution">complementary distribution</a> with them.

It is present where a nasal consonant is neutralised before a velar stop and is in a complementary distribution with /n/ and /m/.

The three <a href="/wiki/Grammatical_gender" title="Grammatical gender">genders</a> of Indo-European were all present. Nouns and adjectives were inflected according to one of two <a href="/wiki/Grammatical_number" title="Grammatical number">grammatical numbers</a>: the singular and the plural. Nouns can be divided into numerous declensions according to the form of the stem: a, ō, i, u, an, ōn, ein, r, etc. Adjectives have two variants, indefinite and definite (sometimes indeterminate and determinate), with definite adjectives normally used in combination with the definite <a href="/wiki/Determiner_(linguistics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Determiner (linguistics)">determiners</a> (such as the <a href="/wiki/Definite_article" class="mw-redirect" title="Definite article">definite article</a> sa/þata/sō) while indefinite adjectives are used in other circumstances.,<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Indefinite adjectives generally use a combination of a-stem and ō-stem endings, and definite adjectives use a combination of an-stem and ōn-stem endings. The concept of "strong" and "weak" declensions that is prevalent in the grammar of many other <a href="/wiki/Germanic_languages" title="Germanic languages">Germanic languages</a> is less significant in Gothic because of its conservative nature: the so-called "weak" declensions (those ending in n) are, in fact, no weaker in Gothic (in terms of having fewer endings) than the "strong" declensions (those ending in a vowel), and the "strong" declensions do not form a coherent class that can be clearly distinguished from the "weak" declensions. Although descriptive adjectives in Gothic (as well as superlatives ending in -ist and -ost) and the <a href="/wiki/Past_participle" class="mw-redirect" title="Past participle">past participle</a> may take both definite and indefinite forms, some adjectival words are restricted to one variant. Some pronouns take only definite forms: for example, sama (English "same"), adjectives like unƕeila ("constantly", from the root ƕeila, "time"; compare to the English "while"), comparative adjective and <a href="/wiki/Present_participle" class="mw-redirect" title="Present participle">present participles</a>. Others, such as áins ("some"), take only the indefinite forms.

Each follows a particular pattern of inflection (partially mirroring the noun declension), much like other Indo-European languages. One particularly noteworthy characteristic is the preservation of the <a href="/wiki/Dual_grammatical_number" class="mw-redirect" title="Dual grammatical number">dual number</a>, referring to two people or things; the plural was used only for quantities greater than two. Thus, "the two of us" and "we" for numbers greater than two were expressed as wit and weis respectively. While proto-Indo-European used the dual for all grammatical categories that took a number (as did Classical Greek and <a href="/wiki/Sanskrit" title="Sanskrit">Sanskrit</a>), most Old Germanic languages are unusual in that they preserved it only for pronouns. Gothic preserves an older system with dual marking on both pronouns and verbs (but not nouns or adjectives). The simple demonstrative pronoun sa (neuter: þata, feminine: so, from the Indo-European root *so, *seh2, *tod; cognate to the Greek article ὁ, ἡ, τό and the Latin istud) can be used as an article, allowing constructions of the type definite article + weak adjective + noun. The interrogative pronouns begin with ƕ-, which derives from the proto-Indo-European consonant *kʷ that was present at the beginning of all interrogatives in proto-Indo-European, cognate with the wh- at the beginning of many English interrogative, which, as in Gothic, are pronounced with [ʍ] in some dialects. The same etymology is present in the interrogatives of many other Indo-European languages: w- [v] in German, hv- in <a href="/wiki/Danish_language" title="Danish language">Danish</a>, the Latin qu- (which persists in modern <a href="/wiki/Romance_languages" title="Romance languages">Romance languages</a>), the Greek τ- or π-, the <a href="/wiki/Slavic_languages" title="Slavic languages">Slavic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Indo-Aryan_languages" title="Indo-Aryan languages">Indic</a> k- as well as many others. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Verbs">Verbs</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Gothic_language&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Verbs">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Gothic_verbs" title="Gothic verbs">Gothic verbs</a></div> The bulk of Gothic verbs follow the type of Indo-European conjugation called '<a href="/wiki/Thematic_stem" class="mw-redirect" title="Thematic stem">thematic</a>' because they insert a vowel derived from the reconstructed proto-Indo-European phonemes *e or *o between roots and inflexional suffixes. The pattern is also present in Greek and Latin: <ul><li>Latin – leg-i-mus ("we read"): root leg- + thematic vowel -i- (from *o) + suffix -mus.</li> <li>Greek – λύ-ο-μεν ("we untie"): root λυ- + thematic vowel -ο- + suffix -μεν.</li> <li>Gothic – nim-a-m ("we take"): root nim- + thematic vowel -a- (from *o) + suffix -m.</li></ul> The other conjugation, called '<a href="/wiki/Athematic" class="mw-redirect" title="Athematic">athematic</a>', in which suffixes are added directly to roots, exists only in unproductive vestigial forms in Gothic, just like in Greek and Latin. The most important such instance is <a href="/wiki/Indo-European_copula" title="Indo-European copula">the verb "to be"</a>, which is athematic in Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, and many other Indo-European languages. Gothic verbs are, like nouns and adjectives, divided into strong verbs and weak verbs. Weak verbs are characterised by <a href="/wiki/Preterite" title="Preterite">preterites</a> formed by appending the suffixes -da or -ta, parallel to past participles formed with -þ / -t. Strong verbs form preterites by <a href="/wiki/Indo-European_ablaut" title="Indo-European ablaut">ablaut</a> (the alternating of vowels in their root forms) or by <a href="/wiki/Reduplication" title="Reduplication">reduplication</a> (prefixing the root with the first consonant in the root plus aí) but without adding a suffix in either case. This parallels the Greek and Sanskrit <a href="/wiki/Perfect_(grammar)" title="Perfect (grammar)">perfects</a>. The dichotomy is still present in modern Germanic languages: <ul><li>weak verbs ("to have"): <ul><li>Gothic: haban, preterite: habáida, past participle: habáiþs;</li> <li>English: (to) have, preterite: had, past participle: had;</li> <li>German: haben, preterite: hatte, past participle: gehabt;</li> <li>Icelandic: hafa, preterite: hafði, past participle: haft;</li> <li>Dutch: hebben, preterite: had, past participle: gehad;</li> <li>Swedish: ha(va), preterite: hade, supine: haft;</li></ul></li> <li>strong verbs ("to give"): <ul><li>Gothic: infinitive: giban, preterite: gaf;</li> <li>English: infinitive: (to) give, preterite: gave;</li> <li>German: infinitive: geben, preterite: gab;</li> <li>Icelandic: infinitive: gefa, preterite: gaf;</li> <li>Dutch: infinitive: geven, preterite: gaf;</li> <li>Swedish: infinitive: giva (ge), preterite: gav.</li></ul></li></ul> Verbal conjugation in Gothic have two <a href="/wiki/Grammatical_voice" class="mw-redirect" title="Grammatical voice">grammatical voices</a>: the active and the medial; three numbers: singular, dual (except in the third person) and plural; two tenses: present and preterite (derived from a former perfect); three <a href="/wiki/Grammatical_mood" title="Grammatical mood">grammatical moods</a>: <a href="/wiki/Indicative_mood" class="mw-redirect" title="Indicative mood">indicative</a>, <a href="/wiki/Subjunctive_mood" title="Subjunctive mood">subjunctive</a> (from an old <a href="/wiki/Optative_mood" title="Optative mood">optative</a> form) and <a href="/wiki/Imperative_mood" title="Imperative mood">imperative</a> as well as three kinds of nominal forms: a present <a href="/wiki/Infinitive" title="Infinitive">infinitive</a>, a present <a href="/wiki/Participle" title="Participle">participle</a>, and a past <a href="/wiki/Passive_voice" title="Passive voice">passive</a>. Not all tenses and persons are represented in all moods and voices, as some conjugations use <a href="/wiki/Auxiliary_verb" title="Auxiliary verb">auxiliary forms</a>. Finally, there are forms called 'preterite-present': the old Indo-European perfect was reinterpreted as present tense. The Gothic word wáit, from the proto-Indo-European *woid-h2e ("to see" in the perfect), corresponds exactly to its Sanskrit cognate véda and in Greek to ϝοἶδα. Both etymologically should mean "I have seen" (in the perfect sense) but mean "I know" (in the preterite-present meaning). Latin follows the same rule with nōuī ("I have learned" and "I know"). The preterite-present verbs include áigan ("to possess") and kunnan ("to know") among others. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Syntax">Syntax</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Gothic_language&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Syntax">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Word_order">Word order</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Gothic_language&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Word order">edit</a>]</div> The word order of Gothic is fairly free as is typical of other inflected languages. The natural word order of Gothic is assumed to have been like that of the other old Germanic languages; however, nearly all extant Gothic texts are translations of Greek originals and have been heavily influenced by Greek syntax. Sometimes what can be expressed in one word in the original Greek will require a verb and a complement in the Gothic translation; for example, διωχθήσονται (diōchthēsontai, "they will be persecuted") is rendered: <dl><dd><table> <tbody><tr> <td>wrakos</td> <td>winnand</td> <td>(2 Timothy 3:12) </td></tr> <tr> <td>persecution-<abbr title="plural">PL</abbr>-<abbr title="accusative">ACC</abbr></td> <td>suffer-<abbr title="third person plural">3PL</abbr> </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="3">"they will suffer persecution" </td></tr></tbody></table></dd></dl> Likewise Gothic translations of Greek noun phrases may feature a verb and a complement. In both cases, the verb follows the complement, giving weight to the theory that basic word order in Gothic is object–verb.

If the first word has a <a href="/wiki/Preverb" title="Preverb">preverb</a> attached, the clitic actually splits the preverb from the verb: ga-u-láubjats "do you both believe...?" from galáubjats "you both believe". Another such clitic is -uh "and", appearing as -h after a vowel: ga-h-mēlida "and he wrote" from gamēlida "he wrote", urreis nim-uh "arise and take!" from the imperative form nim "take". After iþ or any indefinite besides sums "some" and anþar "another", -uh cannot be placed; in the latter category, this is only because indefinite determiner phrases cannot move to the front of a clause. Unlike, for example, Latin -que, -uh can only join two or more main clauses. In all other cases, the word jah "and" is used, which can also join main clauses. More than one such clitics can occur in one word: diz-uh-þan-sat ijōs "and then he seized them (<abbr title="feminine">fem.</abbr>)" from dissat "he seized" (notice again the voicing of diz-), ga-u-ƕa-sēƕi "whether he saw anything" from gasēƕi "he saw".<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Comparison_to_other_Germanic_languages">Comparison to other Germanic languages</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Gothic_language&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Comparison to other Germanic languages">edit</a>]</div> For the most part, Gothic is known to be significantly closer to Proto-Germanic than any other Germanic language[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] except for that of the (scantily attested) <a href="/wiki/Proto-Norse" class="mw-redirect" title="Proto-Norse">Ancient Nordic</a> runic inscriptions, which has made it invaluable in the reconstruction of Proto-Germanic[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>].

Sometimes, a further grouping, that of the <a href="/wiki/Northwest_Germanic" title="Northwest Germanic">Northwest Germanic</a> languages, is posited as containing the North Germanic and West Germanic languages, reflecting the hypothesis that Gothic was the first attested language to branch off. A minority opinion (the so-called Gotho-Nordic hypothesis) instead groups North Germanic and <a href="/wiki/East_Germanic_languages" title="East Germanic languages">East Germanic</a> together. It is based partly on historical claims: for example, <a href="/wiki/Jordanes" title="Jordanes">Jordanes</a>, writing in the 6th century, ascribes to the Goths a Scandinavian origin. There are a few linguistically significant areas in which Gothic and Old Norse agree against the West Germanic languages. Perhaps the most obvious is the evolution of the <a href="/wiki/Proto-Germanic_language" title="Proto-Germanic language">Proto-Germanic</a> *-jj- and *-ww- into Gothic ddj (from Pre-Gothic ggj?) and ggw, and Old Norse ggj and ggv ("<a href="/wiki/Holtzmann%27s_Law" class="mw-redirect" title="Holtzmann's Law">Holtzmann's Law</a>"), in contrast to West Germanic where they remained as semivowels. Compare Modern English true, German treu, with Gothic triggws, Old Norse tryggr. However, it has been suggested that these are, in fact, two separate and unrelated changes.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> A number of other posited similarities exist (for example, the existence of numerous inchoative verbs ending in -na, such as Gothic ga-waknan, Old Norse vakna; and the absence of gemination before j, or (in the case of old Norse) only g geminated before j, e.g. Proto-Germanic *kunją > Gothic kuni (kin), Old Norse kyn, but Old English cynn, Old High German kunni). However, for the most part these represent <a href="/wiki/Comparative_method#Terminology" title="Comparative method">shared retentions</a>, which are not valid means of grouping languages. That is, if a parent language splits into three daughters A, B and C, and C innovates in a particular area but A and B do not change, A and B will appear to agree against C. That shared retention in A and B is not necessarily indicative of any special relationship between the two. Similar claims of similarities between <a href="/wiki/Old_Gutnish" title="Old Gutnish">Old Gutnish</a> (Gutniska) and <a href="/wiki/Old_Icelandic" class="mw-redirect" title="Old Icelandic">Old Icelandic</a> are also based on shared retentions rather than shared innovations. Another commonly-given example involves Gothic and Old Norse verbs with the ending -t in the 2nd person singular preterite indicative, and the West Germanic languages have -i. The ending -t can regularly descend from the Proto-Indo-European perfect ending *-th₂e, while the origin of the West Germanic ending -i (which, unlike the -t-ending, unexpectedly combines with the zero-grade of the root as in the plural) is unclear, suggesting that it is an innovation of some kind, possibly an import from the optative. Another possibility is that this is an example of independent choices made from a doublet existing in the proto-language. That is, Proto-Germanic may have allowed either -t or -i to be used as the ending, either in <a href="/wiki/Free_variation" title="Free variation">free variation</a> or perhaps depending on dialects within Proto-Germanic or the particular verb in question. Each of the three daughters independently standardized on one of the two endings and, by chance, Gothic and Old Norse ended up with the same ending. Other <a href="/wiki/Isogloss" title="Isogloss">isoglosses</a> have led scholars to propose an early split between East and <a href="/wiki/Northwest_Germanic" title="Northwest Germanic">Northwest Germanic</a>. Furthermore, features shared by any two branches of Germanic do not necessarily require the postulation of a <a href="/wiki/Proto-language" title="Proto-language">proto-language</a> excluding the third, as the early <a href="/wiki/Germanic_languages" title="Germanic languages">Germanic languages</a> were all part of a <a href="/wiki/Dialect_continuum" title="Dialect continuum">dialect continuum</a> in the early stages of their development, and <a href="/wiki/Language_contact" title="Language contact">contact</a> between the three branches of Germanic was extensive.
