	Gutisch Razde, or simply Gutisch (Cyrillic: '''гутиш''') is a Germanic language spoken by approximately 45,000 people on the southern coast of the Crimean Peninsula. It is an East Germanic language, closely related to Biblical Gothic, however the language is not a lineal descendant of Biblical Gothic. Nonetheless the speakers refer to themselves as "Goths" and their language still shares enough similarities with Gothic to be considered related. The language is critically endangered, with only a handful of native speakers remaining, with most acquiring the language as an L2.
