 During World War II many Goths were expelled to various oblasts in Siberia to work as slave labour for the Soviet war machine. Like the Germans in the USSR, the Goths were feared to be sympathetic to the Nazis and therefore were persecuted heavily during World War II. While some Goths returned to the Black Sea after the war, many others had emigrated abroad to countries such as Brazil and Argentina.

+* General weakening of /g/ in all positions.
+** /g/ → /ɣ/ → /ɦ/
+*** ''dag'' → /daɦ/ “day”
+==== Modern Gothic (c. 1600 onwards) ====
+* Word-final obstruent devoicing.
+** /b d z v ɦ/ → [p t s f h] word-finally
+*** /daɦ/ → [dah] “day”
+* Secondary palatalization of dental consonants and affricates before front vowels.
