Internal links:
The following dictionaries are hosted on this site:

  • Gothic dictionary (Gothic - English)
    I have searched the internet for ages to get this Gothic dictionary, I don't know who created it though.

  • Crimean Gothic dictionary (Crimean Gothic - English / English - Crimean Gothic)
    I have created this dictionary in August 2003 by translating the Crimean Gothic to Latin wordlist of Busbecq, I have also created an English to Crimean Gothic wordlist and added Busbecq's Crimean Gothic numerals and first lines of a Crimean Gothic song.

  • Runic wordlist: an interesting list of early runic inscriptions and their translations can be found in the back of the book "Runes Around the North Sea and On the Continent AD 150-700" by Jantina Helena Looijenga (ISBN:90-6781-014-2), this list gives a good image of the oldest known written Germanic languages.
    The book itself is also worth reading because it contains loads of interesting information about runic writings.
