Synopsis
Excerpt from Philological Papers Comprising Notes on the Ancient Gothic Language, Parts I and II, and Sanskrit Roots and English Derivations: Read Before the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool
The Gothic language, on which-i propose to offer a few remarks, is interesting on many accounts. It is closely allied to our own tongue, and if not standing in the exact position of direct ancestor, it is, collaterally, very slightly removed from that relation. It occupies, also, a very central position in relation to the other Teutonic tongues; connected with the Norse, the Old German, the Old Saxon, and anglo-saxon, it indicates the point from which they all radiated before settling into separate dialects.
