About This Book

The book offers a practical introduction to the Gothic language, presenting phonology and inflectional systems in self-contained chapters on vowels, consonants, and declension, accompanied by reading selections and a comprehensive glossary. Explanatory notes, derivational analyses, and correspondence information are provided alongside full grammatical paradigms to support learners working without lectures. It gives guidance on study order and exercise use and points to supplementary comparative works for deeper study. The glossary includes inflectional forms, derivations, and textual citations, functioning also as an index to the grammar and the reading material.
