{{Germanic tribes (750BC-1AD)}}The [[Germanic tribes]] referred to as '''East Germanic''' constitute a [[Diaspora|wave]] of [[immigrant|migrant]]s who may have moved from [[Scandinavia]] into the area between the [[Oder]] and [[Vistula]] rivers between the years 600 and 300 [[Before Christ|BC]]. Later they went to the south. Unlike the Northern and Western tribes, they did not successfully preserve their ethnicity and were primarily assimilated into West Germanic tribes and Romans. |

According to some theories, the east Germanic tribes, related to the [[North Germanic tribes]], had migrated from [[Scandinavia]] into the region east of the [[Elbe River]] ([[Vandals]], [[Burgundians]], [[Goths]], [[Rugians]] and others).<ref>The Penguin atlas of world history / Hermann Kinder and Werner Hilgemann ; translated by Ernest A.

Traditionally the [[Lombards]] were classified as East Germanic, however, the [[Lombardic language]] is now considered by many specialists to be close to [[Old High German]], especially its [[Upper German]] dialects, which would make a classification as [[West Germanic|West]] rather than East Germanic more sensible. |

The East Germanic languages are contrasted with [[North Germanic|North]] and [[West Germanic]]. However, the East Germanic languages shared many characteristics with [[North Germanic]], perhaps because of the later migration date. |
|||
All the East Germanic languages are extinct as living languages. However, there have been recent attempts by Germanic tribal polytheists to reconstruct a form of neo-[[Gothic language|Gothic]] as a common community language.{{Citation needed|date=September 2007}} This is primarily based on the academic publications of a small number of scholars who have studied what remains of the written records of the Gothic dialects within [[Italia]], the [[Iberian peninsula]], and old [[Anatolia]]. |
