It's strange how Goths didn't survive as a culture the way Romans or Franks did, there were a lot of them, surely many of us are their descendents, but almost no current population primarily identifies as their descendents

the barbarian groups on the continent didn't really develop extensive Germanic written traditions; most intellectual production happened in Latin, and late-Latin, / early Romance remained the dominant language in the population.
Gothic itself hardly survives, known only from that 4th-century bible translation that was prepared in the course of efforts to convert them to (Arian) Christianity.
