Valthungian, or the Grey Tongue, another Germanic a posteriori, this time a close relative of Gothic. Not directly descended from Gothic, as such, but maybe a great-great-nephew. Jamin aspired to maintain a blog about it as it developed, but he’s seriously bad at that. http://valthungian.everywitchway.net/. Jamin formally presented Valthungian as a theoretical descendant of Gothic at the 53rd International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo in 2018, which was attended by twos or even threes of people. | Valthungian, or the Grey Tongue, another Germanic a posteriori, this time a close relative of Gothic.

In the process of creating Valthungian, it became necessary to create some intermediate steps as well. These aren't fully-fledged conlangs, but more like synchronic snapshots of a two millennia long diachronic process. | |||
====[[Middle Valthungian]]==== | |||
[[Middle Valthungian]] represents a period in the development of [[Valthungian]] lasting from around 1200 a.d. to 1600 a.d. | |||
====[[Old Valthungian]]==== | |||
[[Old Valthungian]] represents a period in the development of [[Valthungian]] lasting from around 800 a.d. to 1200 a.d. | |||
====[[Griutungi]]==== | |||
[[Griutungi]] is the theoretical ancestor of [[Valthungian]] which was likely a dialect of, or at least mutually intelligible with, Gothic. | |||
