	High Alemannic German - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		High Alemannic is a branch of Alemannic dialects and belongs to the German language, even though they are only partly intelligible to German speakers.

		Therefore, High Alemannic must not be confused with Swiss German, which refers to all German dialects of Switzerland because of the special diglossic situation of German-speaking Switzerland.
