Abstract
The Vandalic Language is a scarcely attested early Germanic Language spoken until the 6th century, records of which are found most notably in northern Africa in the context of the Vandal Kingdom. This book is a step towards a grammar of Vandalic based on an analysis of the sources at hand. It furthermore investigates the linguistic relationship between Vandalic and other early Germanic languages and discusses the implications of the findings for our view of the breakup of Proto-Germanic.
