Griutungi is an East Germanic language which was the ancestor of [[Valthungian]]. It was contemporaneous and likely mutually intelligible with Gothic. There was no written record of Griutungi, aside from a few possible examples written in the Gothic alphabet which may have been attributed to Gothic instead. It has been reconstructed with a very similar phonology:

===Prepositions===
* The Germanic preposition ''*tô'' remains in Griutungi as ''*tō'', while in Gothic it inexplicably – despite several conflicting theories, all of which seem like a bit of a stretch – became ''du''; Griutungi seems to have also had ''*du'', used in a benefactive sense, though it was likely borrowed from Gothic proper sometime in the fifth or sixth century while the two languages were still fairly mutually intelligible.

* The Germanic preposition ''*eup'' – which likely only survived in East Germanic, as all other Germanic languages are descended from the zero-grade form ''*upp'' – became ''iup'' in Gothic, but appears to have gone through some sort of back-formation or possible borrowing in Griutungi resulting in ''*iukw''. This may have happened later, before Old Valthungian proper where it is attested as ''gyivqv'' and ''jivku'', but it is more likely that this occurred before /kʷ/ became /kw/, somewhere around the third or fourth century.
