@caitlinrgreen in mid 13thC Cumans-Kipchaks were the dominant population in Crimea but not politically, Crimea became part of Mongol Empire> -
@caitlinrgreen I wrote to you before about tribe: Burg (or Borg) Oğul (oğul=son), it was part of Cuman-Kipchak confederation. its name> -
@caitlinrgreen > is Germanic, I think it can be a good example of assimilation or Alliance as Goths in Hun confederation. I think we can> -
@caitlinrgreen >exclude Rus as origin bc Rus kept their identity before & after Mongol invasion so Borg or Burg Son (Oglu) either> -
@caitlinrgreen >Crimean A-Saxon or C. Goths, this tribe was part of Cuman-Kipchak confederation in 1st half of 13C. in Crimea & N. Blk Sea. -
@caitlinrgreen or from other forgotten Germanic tribes eg: Scirii & Heruli.

@caitlinrgreen Catholicism is a key; Vikings (Rus) & C Goths were Gr. Orthodox & Cumans in early 13th were shamanic, but Saxi were Catholics -
@Ahmed_Alhasania I agree, it is a potentially very useful distinction.

@caitlinrgreen Loewe suggested that Crimean Goths were Danes & Shepard considered them Goths influenced by Anglo-Saxons & Varangians. > -
.
@caitlinrgreen Were Crimean Goths in 16th century Danes from British Isles & their language developed in Britain, & influenced by Gothic? -
.
@caitlinrgreen their epic journey is Scandinavian.What language did British Danes speak in1066? Was their language mixture of Old Norse&OE? -
Local dialect very Scandinavianised in east, but don't forget that some of place-names suggest southern origin etc...
-
.
@caitlinrgreen Do you agree that Old Norse influence came from British Danes not from Varangians?? -
.
@caitlinrgreen & at least there is one place name from North East, & NE was heavily colonized by Danes.
