It's kinda like the modern english "blahblah". And it refered to everyone who wasn't Greek. Well, actually, greek people sometimes even called other Greeks Barbars. The Romans took that word from the Greeks like so many other things they got from their neighbours.

Im Spanish, and my anscestors on father and mother side come from two areas that were heavily settled by Visigoths. My granparents town, has one of the few visigothic churches left in Spain. In that town, the gothic language was alive till the 6 or 8th century. Im 1,84 cm have blond hair, red cheecks, blue-green eyes and every time i go abroad im confused as German, Dutch or a Swede. Even in Spain Im always confused as a foreigner and people ask me were did i learn to speak spanish so well haha. Even my family relatives are all very germanic looking. We are all big and blond. I guess im a descendant of those goths, so the answer to this video would be they settled in the Remains of the Roman Empire and assimilated there.

As for me, I think I’m a descendant of the celts because I have far too many red haired family members and because my last name comes from Galicia, but I don’t know.

Btw,, Its quite common to believe Moors left a big impact genetically in Iberia, but our closest relatives genetically are French, British, Irish and Portuguese, being quite distant genetically from North Africans. That's because moors in fact where just 12 000 arab people and 100 000 berber soldiers for a population of 5 million at the time. Visigoth in comparison where 250 000 people, and Suebi in Galicia about 50 000 - 100 000. Most of what we use to call Moors, where natives converted to the Muslim faith, but people believe them to be northafricans when speaking about Moors but they arent. Most of the Spanish population is made of Celts (Center and North) and Iberians ( On the Mediterranean and southern coast) with small amounts of other people, such as Goths, Romans, Jewish, Slavs, Berbers, Vikings, Greeks, Pheonicians, French, Arabs etc..

These Germanic people left behind not only names of people, such as Rodrigo from Roderic, but also names of places like Andalusia from Vandalusia and Catalonia (Catalonia) from Got-Alania. But it is not true that Odoacru and his men would have been Goths. They were herles, a tribe who accompanied the Goths in their migration. Probably related to Alani. But it is interesting how it was seen at that time the sending of the imperial insignia to Constantinople by Odoacru. It was then seen as a unification of power, Odoacru recognizing the existence of a single emperor and trying to rule Italy on his behalf. In fact, the Ostrogoths led by Theodoric (the Great) who replaced Odoacru and founded the Kingdom of the Ostrogoths in Italy officially recognized the Emperor's authority, even if it was only symbolic.

I think the goths got rushed early, before they could start spamming huskarls

I remember as a kid being fascinated with the Goths/Visigoth and Vandals, but espcially by the formers when a show called "barbarians" first aired in the history channel. I remember I went on to read about Alaric and other Goth history. Me being interested in history and genealogy a few years ago I took a 23Andme genetic test. Ironically, it turns out that my YDNA (AKA direct paternal line or genetic surname) is R-M405, or R1B-S21, / R1B-u106 which is extremely common in Germany and the Netherlands and associated with Germanic tribes. This means it's possible that my direct paternal ancestor was a Goth running around Europe and helping destroy the Western Roman Empire. Is also fascinating think that this line likely went from northern Europe to Crimea, to the Iberian peninsula, to the Canary Islands in the 1500's and then ended up in the Hispaniola island in the late 1600's where it has probably remained static for the past 300 years as my family and me still live in the same town that dude from the Canary islands settled. Of course, is also likely that the Y-dna ended up in Spain via the Vandals or some other Germanic group, but to me, it's ironic and fascinating that there is high possibility that my direct paternal ancestors were at some point Goths.

The Vandals, Langobards and Goths were all part of the East Germanic family, so basically brothers. Actually the Goths were going to invade Africa in 410 but a storm destroyed their fleet and king Alaric died of malaria in southern Italy. His brother-in-law Athaulf became king and his first act was to turn the Goths around and march them into Gaul, which had been weakened by a civil war and was ripe for conquest.

Western slavic is not correct - the Germanic peoples have lived up to the Russian border for millennia - they built by hand the towns, and citites, they farmed, and built ports, like in Danzig - NOT Gdansk!

@@lottivonhesse9382 I think Slavic had some sense, the Goths probably bordering with proto-slavs. And also probably some of the DNA of modern Slavs is from gothic heritage and we don't know.

I enjoyed this little history lesson, well done.

Thanks for solving a long unanswered question

The goths were more of a confederation of allied tribes than a enthnical pure germanic tribe.

Yeah, there were quite a lot of Eastern Germanic leaders with clearly Slavic names, so we shouldn't think about Goths like they're a single ethnicity.

The Goths never called themselves German or Germanic and no ancient source makes any mention of such a thing. Gothic is considered in modern times to be a "Germanic" language. The real question here is what language did the ancient Germanics speak before Gothic was partially adopted by them?

They were definately not a pure Germanic tribe after being away from Scandinavia, having picked up peoples across their migrations (especially in what are now Ukraine and Italy), but a good number of them were still of Germanic/Swedish origin, as their language, names, foods, and culture lived on in places like Spain, Italy, and France. Names like Hilda, Nilda/Nelda, Isidore that are still common in Spain, Italy, and France (and like the Spanish Visigothic princess Brunhilda of Wagner opera fame). Words for bank, cardinal signs, etc. That very Germanic love of pork and pork products like ham and sausages,

Ever heard of Saqaliba? They were mostly slaves brought from either the Balkans or West Slavic areas like Czechia, Poland and Polabia. Most young boys converted at early age to Islam and were fanatical guardians of the various rulers in Al-Andalus. So, they worked at various position within the Caliphate, from house servants, to eunuchs on the courts of emirs, to mercenaries and various warriors, like already mentioned Saqaliba Guard. They were present everywhere in the Arab world - although many of them were present in Iberia, they were also in the Maghreb, Egypt, even as far as Iraq. Hell, there is actually a Polish expedition, I don't know where exactly, but either to Morroco or Algeria, where Polish professors are searching for ancient fortress of Saqaaliba, deep in the mountains.

Very good video. Thanks!

I wish the Vandals, Visigoths, and Crimean Goths survived to the present, they are all so cool and it would be awesome to see Gothic countries in the present and how they would coexist with others, likely the Visigothic and Vandal languages would mix with Latin and become standardized while Vandal would also have a lot of Arabic, Greek, Berber, and Punic influence as well, likely they would be Islamic or Catholic, the Crimean Goths would likely remain the same or similar to how they were in the 1700s.

The Crimean Goths are the longest surviving Goths. Over many generations, they had become assimilated into Greek and Tartar speaking populations of Crimea. The last group may had been assimilated into Crimean Tartar population according to Soviet ethnologist V. E. Vozgrin with the reports of a series Tartar villages inhabited by inhabitants with stature and features identical to Scandinavians. The Nazis on the other hand believed that last of the Crimean Goths had assimilated into Crimean German population. During the late 1700s, Germans, Russians and Ukrainians were encouraged to settle in Crimea in order to weaken the Crimean Tartar population. It is possible that the Crimean Goths did assimilation in to the populations of the new settlers as well as Crimean Tartar population which hastened their disappearance as a distinct people.

Goths: Europe, lets totally reshuffle your genetic make up!

Not so heroics,they first were mercenarys of Rome,after the empire's fall they became to Spain and created the visigoth kingdom(in alliance with the romans),late they losed their religion(arrianism),their language and identity(because of the Rome church pressure),and in the end the muslims invaded the Iberian Peninsule.

It was a mindblowing episode!

What a fantastic video man! Do an Irish one sometime maybe?

The Goths had a significant influence on the Spanish language. Words like guerra, jardin, guardia and many last names and names such as Alberto, Roberto, Rodrigo, Gutierrez, -ez, etc.

One of the best remnants of that time is engraved in my language, Spanish, many Gothic words are present in it, but I one word I want to speak of is “Vándalo” which means “Thief, Outlaw, Criminal”, but the word comes from the Vandals: a Gothic tribe who conquered Spain for a small time.

Very interesting video!

I read somewhere that each tribe that migrated numbered only about 20 to 40 thousand total. Maybe that's why they didn't leave much of a mark behind other than names, which were passed down from their royalty and nobility.

at 8'18 there is a footage of a painted sri yantra on a wall. Is it supposed to be goth? where is it please?

Iberian Peninsula is where Celts,Goths,Vandals,Suebians,Alans,Carthaginians,Romans,Vikings,Berbers and Moors all mixed together.What an interesting place.

Well, you basically said that after the Byzantines reconquered the Ostrogothic territory, the Goths were just assimilated into Byzantine society. But the Ostrogothic territory was not just in Italy. It extended well into modern day Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and even Hungary partially as well. So, barring some unknown forced mass Exodus, were they just assimilated into all of these different peoples all of whose descendants are therefore now partly gothic? I read somewhere that some Croatians believe they are descended from the Goths, even though they speak a Slavic language. After contemplation I decided this could be possible since in mixed ethnolinguistic societies, even one’s own mother tongue can lose popularity and intrinsically usefulness depending on circumstances so therefore language is not always a reliable indicator of ancestry. And if that is true of the Croatians, it could also perhaps be true of other peoples in the area. I was hoping this video would satisfy my curiosity definitively but unfortunately it did not.

@masaman Could it not be the goths are from Gotland? And u said something like visegoths - main city on gotland is visby, could be an older name or?? 1/3 of Gotland population went to Poland or other central European countries just like "goths".

02:33 Not entirely correct. There was the well known Hun speech of emperor Wilhelm II. where he referred to the German troops as huns to glorify them.

I love how the Vandals and Goths became negative terms during the Renaissance. They were seen as savages and uncultured. It's obviously why Vandal is used now to describe a destructive person and Gothic architecture was actually initially a derogatory term. If a building was described as Gothic it was ugly, harsh, etc.

Thank God there r a few smart channels left. Great channel!

Mihaly Hosszu problem is- other nations wont recognise this. Alans left mark in Catalonia, France, Balkan and Besarabia. There is their blood still going around.

If you want to find more about the Goths you should read the "Getica" by Jordanes which it was based on a larger (lost) work of Cassiodorus, which also incorporated the earlier work of Ablavius. The "Getica" incorporates valuable records of Gothic tradition, the origin of the Goths, and some important remarks about the gods whom the Goths worshipped. However, from Jordanes works it largely appears that the name "Goths" is nothing more than an exchange name for the "Getians" (Getae) which alongside the Dacians, and many other tribes from the great family of Thracians (about two hundred tribes spreading over most of Europe, over and around Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea - including coastal North Africa - up to Central Asia) were inhabitating the most of Europe, mainly having the same beliefs, spirituality and language, which language, today, is known to us as "lingua prisca" or "ausonica"- a real "lingua franca" of antique Europe - and not only - of the era. Very similar in sound and meanings with today's Romanian language as well as with some of the other today's so called Romance languages, this "lingua ausonica" has been used by Jordanes himself in his works, hence the later scholars' dilemma of Jordanes' "strange Latin" use...and, of course, the eternal "dilemma" of that strange and sudden "appearance" and "disappearance" of the Goths in history.

Please make a video explaining how it was so easy (or was it?) for all these peoples to move in a few decades or centuries across vast distances over whole continents, and all the logistics and economics involved.
