This article is about the ancient Germanic language. For the modern Slavic language of the Slovenes once thought to be descendants of the Vandals, see Prekmurje Slovene.
Vandalic was the Germanic language spoken by the Vandals during roughly the 3rd to 6th centuries. It was probably closely related to Gothic, and, as such, is traditionally classified as an East Germanic language.[1]: 9 Its attestation is very fragmentary, mainly due to the Vandals' constant migrations and late adoption of writing. All modern sources from the time when Vandalic was spoken are protohistoric.[2]: 43–44
