Hello,
for creating a modern gothic language we are unable to avoid talking about the topic "accent".
What might have been the accent of the gothic? What should we expect? Could it have been a tone language? Which languages are references?
Anyway, had gothic an initial stress? If so, where does it came from? In the german language scientists speculate that it came from a contact with the finnish language. Since gothic had an immense contact to greek, maybe it was influenced by it concerning the accent and stress.
