Going by that notion, the Swedes of
Götaland arent Germanic either?
The Goths are classified as Germanic. So anyone who has a Gothic heritage has Germanic heritage, whether the Gothic element has been absorbed culturally or not, it doesnt change that fact.
By the way, the Goths did have a relatively large influence over Iberia and parts of modern France. But it seems as if you didnt quite agree with this in your post?
And the Suebian kingdom on the northern coast of Iberia as you can see in the picture, would also suggest some Germanic influence from there perhaps.
