The Gothic peoples are a cultural and ethnic group of peoples mainly belonging to Central and Northwestern Levantia. The Gothic peoples are generally divided into West Goths (Hendalarskara people), East Goths (Yonderian Goths), North Goths (Noborean Goths) and the Ænglish.
The Ænglish diversified as a unique culture during the early middle ages while the West and East Goths did not truly diversify until the late middle ages. While the exact point of division of West and East Goths in the middle ages is a topic of historiographic debate, the terms singling both out as separate from one another begins to appear in the late thirteenth century. The geographic split between West and East Goths is also disputed for the middle ages, but is today generally accepted either as the Donne River that forms the modern border between TBD and Yonderre or someplace inside modern TBD.
A common genetic trait amongst the Gothic peoples is a high frequency of the y-chromosome haplogroup G2g.

Ænglish
Although about as closely related to the central east/west gothic cultures as the North Goths, the Ænglish has spread to become larger than all of the other goths combined. Because of this and numerous other factors the Ænglish are commonly considered their own Ethno-Cultural group. (See Ænglish people)
