About this person

Witold Mańczak was a Polish linguist. He was a member of Polish Academy of Learning and the Polish Academy of Sciences. He is best known for his historical linguistics work on identifying, via statistical methods focusing especially on well-studied European languages, overarching tendencies in analogical change. He has also argued that Gothic is closer to German than to Scandinavian, and suggests Goths originally hailed from somewhere around present day Austria, rather than from Scandinavia."
