@Ahmed_Alhasania Of course :) For what it's worth, both hypotheses seem possible, v difficult to tell. Shepard thought Saxons lived >

@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.

@caitlinrgreen so they were manly A-Saxons, with some British Scandinavians; but this doesn't solve the mystery of Crimean Goths in 16th C. -
.
@caitlinrgreen if Crimean Goths in 15th century were Danes in origin, so what is their original language? & What is their original name? -
.
@caitlinrgreen Crimean Goths, according to Crimean source, were assimilated by Huns, because Goths refused to withdraw to the mountains. -
.
@caitlinrgreen if this source is reliable, it means Crimean Goths in 16th c. were either A-Saxons or M. L.German speakers e.g. Hanseatic. -
Sadly, so difficult to know exactly what was going on there in that era :(

@caitlinrgreen Thanks. Do you think place name: Rodina, came from Gothic origin? I see it's feminine personal name in Scotland.
