Vandalic language

Vandalic was a Germanic language probably closely related to the Gothic language. The Vandals, Hasdingi and Silingi established themselves in Gallaecia (Northern Portugal and Galicia) and in Southern Spain, following other Germanic and non-Germanic peoples (Visigoths, Alans and Suevi), before moving to North Africa in AD 429.

Very little is known about the Vandalic language beyond that it was East Germanic, closely related to Gothic. A small number of personal names of Vandalic origin in Spanish are known.
