This region of Crimea was also home to the last remaining Gothic (extinct East Germanic branch) speakers, who may have continued to speak their language until the 16th, 17th century. A Flemish diplomat wrote down some of their speech in 1562 (may have been 2nd hand info) and much of what he wrote seems to either have West Germanic influence (Dutch, German, English) or was coloured by his Flemish biases.
