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.
Phonology
Orthography
Gothedish can be written in various orthographies. The most commonly used is the Latin alphabet, followed by Arabic and Gothic.
1 Unmarked vowels are lengthened by default in “unchecked" syllables (i.e. stressed and followed by no more than one consonant) and are shortened otherwise. Short unchecked vowels are indicated by doubling the following consonant, and long checked vowels are indicated with special long forms. Loanwords often do not conform to these rules.
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/.
3 In loanwords.
