Should I know? I don't know it. The logic will say if someone is called
getae by X , then if X use the word "Lingua getica" then it should be
related to the language of getae. More as this I cannot say.

Keine Ahnung. I just found the text with the words of Chiril. I got a
book several days ago called "Geneza Romanitatii Rasaritene" by Aurel
Berindei and there is given as source with the words of Chiril as
follow:
Unione missionaria del Clero in Italia which has been translated in the
Anuarul Uniunii Misionare a Clerului unit din Romania in 1940, page 52.
There is no speculation about how should be the getic language and how
this looks like. But I don't see why Chiril will use "getic" for people
who are already christianised but "dead" as you suppose.
