''For the subculture with the same name see [[Goth (subculture)]]''

Historically, a '''Goth''' was a member of a [[Germanic]] tribe, which invaded the [[Roman Empire]] from the east between the third and fifth centuries AD. The eastern half of the tribe, the [[Ostrogoths]] eventually founded the [[kingdom]] of [[Italy]], while the [[Visigoths]], their western cousins, founded the kingdom of [[Spain]].  The Gothic language belonged to the so-called East Germanic languages and showed earlier features than West Germanic languages (like Old English and Old High German).  Our only knowledge of it is from the translation of the [[Bible]] by Ulfilas into Gothic, part of which survives as the 'Codex Argenteus' in Uppsala, [[Sweden]].
