Talk:Vandals

The sentence "The Arabic term for Muslim Spain Al Andalus [...]" shold be changed to "The Arabic term for Muslim IBERIA Al Andalus [...]". Portugal was also part of Al Andalus.

Salutations to you. I'm new on Wikipedia and a History student focused on the Vandals. I uploaded the "'[Cross']" to WikiCommons and I suggest it to be used for the Vandals' article's page. The cross clearly appears on many of their sculptures, mosaics and coins. I will later share a source I'm working on, as a History student. And if not to use it, better use the Vandalic Knight of Carthage, it's more emblematic than those jewels. Thanks.

The Vandals were a slavic, not germanic people; as proven by genetics and their slavic names written in their, and their neighbours' enscriptions found from that time 217.149.173.220 (talk) 09:58, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

If such claims have been made in reputable published sources, then please give the details. OTOH, the reality is going to be complex. The Vandals were certainly in early Roman listings of "Germanic peoples" (which does not necessarily mean that we can be sure what language they spoke). One Byzantine source (Procopius) mentioned explicitly that they spoke the same language as the Goths. You mention "that time" but the Vandals were not one generation or single group of people. It is possible that different Vandal groups in different periods or places spoke different languages. The early Roman-era Vandals were in an area which was heavily Celt-influenced for example. So please explain which time you mean, and which evidence you are talking about. Normally speaking genes can't tell us what language someone spoke though. --Andrew Lancaster (talk) 13:54, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

it seems he is referring to various archeogenetic blogs written on the subject which have observed Y-Dna haplogroups common to central europe(ie R1A-M458(L1029) in southern europe via Spain and Sardinia i believe. We do not have any samples from actual Vandalic peoples as of yet though 2607:FB91:1E73:925B:F09A:EE17:D985:9450 (talk) 23:51, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

They conquered the far western part of Sicily in 440. The siege of Palermo in 440 was a failure as was the second attempt to invade Sicily near Agrigento in 442 (the Vandals initially occupied the far western part of the island; and the entire island from 468 to 476 when a large part was ceded to Odoacer, and the extreme western part remained in their possession until 491). 151.57.121.9 (talk) 14:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

The text reads: N.b.: a. C. = BC («después de Cristo» in Spanish) and d. C. = AD («antes de Cristo» in Spanish). It's clear that the Spanish expansions are transposed. The text should read: N.b.: a. C. = BC («antes de Cristo» in Spanish) and d. C. = AD («después de Cristo» in Spanish). Thanks in advance for fixing. 100.34.64.174 (talk) 05:43, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Punctuation in para 2: Change full stop to a comma at the end of the incomplete sentence beginning with: "Expanding into Dacia during [...]" and link it to the complete sentence following. The corrected version should read: "Expanding into Dacia during the Marcomannic Wars and into Pannonia during the Crisis of the Third Century, the Vandals were confined to Pannonia by the Goths around 330 AD, where they received permission to settle from Constantine the Great." ~2025-36956-62 (talk) 04:43, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
