'''Gothevian''' ('''{{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|gušk}}''', '''''gušk''''' [ɡuʃk], formally '''{{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|róždun gúškun}}''', '''''róždun gúškun''''' [ | '''Gothevian''' ('''{{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|gušk}}''', '''''gušk''''' [ɡuʃk], formally '''{{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|róždun gúškun}}''', '''''róždun gúškun''''' [ˈrwɤ̞ʒdun ˈɡuʃkun]) is an [[w:East Germanic languages|East Germanic]] language descendant from [[w:Gothic language|Gothic]] or a language mutually intelligible with it. Its speakers mainly reside within the borders of [[Gothevia]], though there exist significant Gothevian-speaking communities in [[w:Bulgaria|Bulgaria]], [[w:Greece|Greece]], and [[w:Serbia|Serbia]]. it is the only surviving member of the East Germanic branch of the [[w:Germanic languages|Germanic languages]], though with being a member of [[w:Balkan sprachbund|Balkan sprachbund]], it has evolved to be quite distinct in some aspects of its structure compared to other Germanic languages, with features such as [[w:evidentiality|evidentiality]] and the eradication of the [[w:Germanic strong verb|Germanic strong verb]]. | ||
Old Gothevian shares most of its features with [[w:Ulfilas|Wulfilan]] Gothic, likely being descendent from dialects mutually intelligible with it. It was written in a descendant of the [[w:Gothic alphabet|Gothic script]], which modern Gothevian still uses. Gothevian, however, would begin to diverge from Wulfilan Gothic, with the biggest drivers being the [[w:Balkan sprachbund|Balkan sprachbund]] and [[w:Old Church Slavonic|Slavonic]] and [[w:Greek language|Greek]] [[w:Stratum_(linguistics)#Superstratum|superstrata]]. | Old Gothevian shares most of its features with [[w:Ulfilas|Wulfilan]] Gothic, likely being descendent from dialects mutually intelligible with it.
