Vandalic was a Germanic language probably closely related to the Gothic language. The Vandals, Hasdingi and Silingi established themselves in Gallaecia (Northern Portugal and Galicia) and in Southern Spain, following other Germanic and non-Germanic peoples (Visigoths, Alans and Suevi), before moving to North Africa in AD 429.

Very little is known about the Vandalic language other than a small number of personal names of Vandalic origin in Spanish. The regional name Andalusia is derived from the Vandals, then the Moors invaded and occupied Spain from the 6th century to the end of the 15th, the region was called "Al-Andalus".^{[citation needed]}

In the 16th, 18th and 19th century, it was believed, according to the Slovenes in the Prekmurje, Somogy and Vas, that they were descendants of the Vandals. In the Hungarian, Latin and other documents, the Prekmurian language (dialect of the Hungarian Slovenes and the Prekmurje) is termed Vandalic language.^[1]
