LANGUAGES - VANDALIC


Vandalic was a Germanic language probably closely related to the Gothic language. The Vandals established themselves in Southern Spain, following other Germanic and non-Germanic peoples (Visigoths, Alans and Avars), before moving to North Africa in AD 429.

Very little is known about the Vandalic language beyond that it was East Germanic, closely related to Gothic. A small number of personal names of Vandalic origin in Spanish are known. Most linguists and historians contend the origin of the provincial name Andalusia came from the Vandals.
