The '''Gotini''' were a [[Gauls|Gaulish]] tribe living during [[Roman empire|Roman]] times in the mountains known today as the [[Sudetes]] approximately near the modern borders of the [[Czech Republic]] and [[Poland]]. They are only known from one classical source, the ''[[Germania (book)|De Origine et situ Germanorum]]'' of [[Tacitus]].<ref>[http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.02.0083:chapter=43&highlight=gotini Tac. Ger. 43]</ref> |

Tacitus clearly distinguishes the Gotini from the similarly named [[Gotones]], who he discussed in the immediately following passage.<ref>[http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.02.0083%3Achapter%3D44 Tac. Ger. 43]</ref> |

Tacitus described the Gotini as speaking a [[Gaulish language]] and working, to their degradation, in mining. Like their neighbours in the mountains, the [[Osi]], they had to pay tribute to both the neighbouring [[Quadi]] and [[Sarmatians]]. Although the Gotoni live in the midst of [[Suebi|Suevic]] peoples, they are not [[Germanic (language)|Germanic]]. |
