Gothic was the language spoken by the Goths (Ostrogoths and Visigoths). It was an East Germanic language and has been extinct for well over 1,000 years. After conquering Italy the Ostrogoths acquired the local language, and much the same happened when the Visigoths conquered the Iberian peninsula. Arounc 1500 two travellers to the Crimea provided a brief description of an apparently Germanic language spoken there: it may have been descended from Gothic.
