	High German (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In the first context, the "high" refers to the mountainous areas of southern Germany and the Alps; in the second context, the "high" means "official".
		The use of High German to refer only to the official German language is not linguistic use, and tends to lead to confusion when discussing the German language: many High German dialects are called Low German, a term properly used for a different (but related) language family.
		High German (and Yiddish) are distinguished from other Western Germanic dialects in that they took part in the second (High German) sound shifting of the 8th century and 9th century.

	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.
		The High Alemannic dialects are spoken in Liechtenstein and in most of German-speaking Switzerland (for instance Bernese German or Zürich German) except for the Highest Alemannic dialects in the South and for the Low Alemannic Basel German dialect in the North West.
		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.

		The common ancestor of all languages comprising this branch is Common Germanic, spoken in approximately the latter mid-1st millennium BC in Iron Age Northern Europe.
		All Germanic languages are thought to be descended from a hypothetical Proto-Germanic, united by their having been subjected to the sound shifts of Grimm's law and Verner's law.
		During the early Middle Ages, the West Germanic languages were separated by the insular development of Middle English on one hand, and by the High German consonant shift on the continent on the other, resulting in Upper German and Low Saxon, with graded intermediate Central German varieties.

	Highest Alemannic German - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Highest Alemannic dialects are spoken in alpine regions of Switzerland: In the Bernese Oberland, in the German-speaking parts of the Canton of Fribourg, in the Valais (see Walliser German) and in the Walser settlements (mostly in Switzerland but also in Italy and in Austria; see Walser German).
		The distinctive feature of the Highest Alemannic dialects is the lack of hiatus diphthongization, for instance [ˈʃniː.ə(n)] 'to snow', [ˈb̥uː.ə(n)] 'to build' vs. High Alemannic [ˈʃnei̯jə], [ˈb̥ou̯wə].
		There are High Alemannic dialects that have preserved the ending -n which has been dropped in most Upper German dialects.

		Strong evidence for the unity of all the modern Germanic languages can be found in the phenomenon known as the first Germanic sound shift or consonant shift (also called Grimm's law), which set the Germanic subfamily apart from the other members of the Indo-European family.
		The West Germanic dialects not affected by the second shift were the Low German dialects of the lowlands, from which Dutch and English evolved.
		Also peculiar to the Germanic languages is the recessive accent, whereby the stress usually falls on the first or root syllable of a word, especially a word of Germanic origin.

	Alemannic German - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Nevertheless, even within the Alemannic dialects, not all dialects are mutually intelligible; Swabian (the northern-most dialect) is usually separated from the southern-most dialects.
		Nevertheless, as the standard written and formal language of the Alemannic-speaking regions remains standard German, Alemannic is generally regarded merely as a regional variant of the German language, even by its speakers.
		It can be argued that it is artificial to separate Alemannic from the other Upper German dialects, while grouping the latter with Central German and Low German as a single language, since the High German consonant shift, the main isogloss that separates the German language from the other West Germanic languages, originates in the south.

		The East Germanic branch of the Germanic languages was spoken by the Germanic speaking people who, in the second through fourth centuries C. E., migrated first to the Danube and Black Sea areas from the Germanic homeland.
		The Germanic branch of Indo-European is a centum language, characterized by systematic change in initial stops, a stress accent on the first syllable of the root, by the productive use of ablaut in verbs, by the use of a dental suffix in verb morphology, and by the use of strong and weak adjective conjugations.

		Some are shared by many other German dialects (e.g., the unrounding of the "umlauts" oe and ue, familiar from German gruen/Yiddish grin, etc.), others are geographically more limited (e.g., [a] in words such as [ase] (with "e" inverted) 'to eat', Standard German essen).

	Schwester Katrei
		A Middle High German (Alemannic) mystical treatise from the first half of the fourteenth century which draws heavily on the theology of both Meister Eckhart and the heresy of the Free Spirit, illustrating, perhaps better than any other text, the closeness between the two.
		The treatise, a dialogue between a beguine and her father confessor (clearly modeled after Eckhart, if not intended to be Eckhart himself), falls into the tradition of lay theology represented by works such as Marguerite Porete's Mirror of Simple Souls.
		The author was intimately familiar with Eckhart's preaching and echoes and expands upon many of the German preacher's themes.
