On this channel you will find quality information on Norse topics discussed by a historian – and not just information, but also problems, challenges, potential theories and educated guesses. I put a lot of effort and passion into it, hoping to turn YouTube into a part-time kick some day.

Some remnants of the gothic language even survive to this day in a form of loanwords in Spanish and Portuguese as well as in Spanish/Portuguese surnames.

Irina; I have a question, right now I'm crafting a Work in Gothic, and I'm using Joseph Wright's ''Grammar of the Gothic Language'' and I wanted to ask about the Words: Thlauhs and Thliuhan (Flight and to flee respectively) and they are the only Gothic words I know that corresponds to cognates in Old English and Old H. German that start with the letter ''F'' not ''TH'' or ''D'' like every word in the Glossary does. Maybe it's a clerical error using the Greek letter ''Fi'' and thinking it has the same value in the Gothic alphabet?
