Introduction

Gothedish is a descendant of Gothic. It is spoken by the Gothede. Its most distinctive feature is extensive palatalization, which is most likely due to Slavic influence.

1 Unmarked vowels by default are lengthened in stressed “unchecked syllables” (i.e. followed by no more than one consonant) and shortened otherwise. If a checked vowel is long, it is marked with an acute accent. If a stressed, unchecked vowel is short, it is indicated by doubling the following consonant. Note that the distinction between long and short vowels is actually more in quality than length.

2 The voiced stops <b(j)>, <d(j)>, and <g(j)> are devoiced at the end of words. They become voiceless stops after a consonant (in the case of <d(j)> and <g(j)>) or a nasal (in the case of <b(j)>). Otherwise, they become voiceless fricatives. Palatalized <g> (/j/), which is always preceded by a vowel, becomes /ʃ/.
