	Building off of the original idea of what [[Valthungian]] was supposed to be, before it became what it is instead, [[Gothic Romance]] is actually a collection of three languages in several stages. It starts with the idea that the Goths who sacked Rome in 410ᴀᴅ continued to speak [[wiki:Gothic_Language\|Gothic]] (or [[Griutungi\|a close relative thereof]]) in parallel with [[wiki:Latin_Language\|Latin]], rather than just switching to Latin completely as they did. This gave way to [[Old Valthungian]], much as described, but from there, the development changes course from what eventually leads to [[Middle Valthungian]], and by around 1200ᴀᴅ we find ourselves in a remote northern Italian town where the locals all speak both a form of Gothic and a form of post-Vulgar Latin which come to have a roughly equivalent phonology. From this point, the two languages exist in tandem, borrowing words back and forth between them until eventually we end up with [[Gothic Romance]]. Is it a Romance language with a lot of Gothic vocabulary? Maybe. Is it a Germanic language with a lot of Latin vocabulary? Maybe. Is it a creole? Probably not, but also maybe. Is it dark and spooky and probably something that vampires would speak if they were feeling particularly poetic? Definitely.
