The Goths, after besieging and taking Rome, broke into the following 10 kingdoms.

1. Vandalsand Alans in Spain and Africa
2. Suevians in Spain
3. The Visigoths
4. Alans in Gallia
5. The Burgundians
6. The Franks
7. The Britains
8. The Hunns
9. The Lombards

These were not Goths:
  1. Vandals were an East Germanic tribes and Alans were the Alani - descendants of Sarmatians - they were Irani speakers and ancestors of today's Ossetians
  2. Suevians - not Goths
  3. Visigoths - well yeah, Goths :)
  4. Alans - again, an Irani tribe
  5. Burgundians - related to VAndals, not Goths
  6. Franks -- a west German tribe, not Goths
  7. Britons - Celts, not even Germanic, forget about Goths -- or do you mean Angles and Saxons? Even those were not Goths
  8. Huns - a Turkic or Finno-Magyar tribe, not even Indo-European, leave alone Germanic.
  9. Lombards - another German tribe, not Goths
  10. RAvenna -- that's a city in north-east Italy, not a tribe....
