crimean gothic language

Crimean Gothic language is derived from the Gothic language that was spoken in some isolated locations in Crimea (now Ukraine) until the 18th century. Few fragments of the Crimean Gothic remained to this day, as the only things we know about it are from a 16th century letter by the Flemish ambassador Busbecq, which gives us knowledge about some eighty words and a bit of insight into its grammar. Crimean Gothic is almost universally recognized as Gothic on the grounds of its phonological features: the word ada "egg", for instance, shows the typical Gothic "strengthening" of Proto-Germanic *-jj- into -ddj- (as in Ulfilian Gothic iddja "went" from PGmc. *ejjon), being from PGmc. *ajja-.
