	Old High German - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The main difference between Old High German and the West Germanic dialects from which it developed is that it underwent the Second Sound Shift or High German consonant shift.
		Consequently, the majority of Old High German texts are religious in nature and show strong influence of ecclesiastical Latin on the vocabulary.
		The earliest OHG text is generally taken to be the Abrogans, a Latin-Old High German glossary variously dated between 750 and 780, probably from Reichenau.

	German language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		German is spoken primarily in Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, in two-thirds of Switzerland, in two-thirds of the South Tyrol province of Italy (in German, Südtirol), in the small East Cantons of Belgium, and in some border villages of the South Jutland County (in German, Nordschleswig, in Danish, Sønderjylland) of Denmark.
		The earliest testimonies of Old High German are from scattered Elder Futhark inscriptions, especially in Alemannic, from the 6th century, the earliest glosses (Abrogans) date to the 8th and the oldest coherent texts (the Hildebrandslied, the Muspilli and the Merseburg Incantations) to the 9th century.
		German is a member of the western branch of the Germanic family of languages, which in turn is part of the Indo-European language family.

	Old German Owl Club
		The Old German Owl is a stocky little pigeon with a cheerful and friendly overall impression.
		The Old Dutch Turbit is a breed similar to the Old German Owl, but larger, peak-crested, and with a differently-shaped head.
		The German name for the Old German Owl is Mövchen, or little gull, which probably refers to the resemblance of the breed’s color and markings to the Silver Gull, a shield-marked seagull.

	DIALECTS AND HIGH GERMAN
		That's when High German (Hochdeutsch) comes to the rescue, the "standard language"--equivalent of the "Queen's English"--the principal vehicle of the media, of literature, religion, education and commerce.
		In the Upper German area they were shifted, depending on position within a given word, as follows: p to pf, ff; t to s, ss, z, tz; k to ch.
		The state of German's dialects was the topic of discussion among the more than 500 linguists from 26 nations who turned out recently (March 12-14) for the Institute for the German Language's annual meeting, held this year in Mannheim (Baden-Württemberg).

		The first of the great German works during this period was "Hildebrandslied", a heroic pagan ballad about conflict between father and son.
		Though called the Old High German Period, one of the greatest works during this period, "Heliand" (see below), was written in in old low German.
		In fact, most of the works of this period were not written in old high German, rather in Latin due to pressure from the church to reject the paganism of the time.

	Seminar
		In cultural and linguistic terms, and largely based on the religious impulse during the spread of Christianity in western-central Europe, the late eighth and early ninth century are characterized by the conversion of a spoken tongue into literary language.
		Despite these drawbacks, Edwards’s conglomerate of comparative and cross-disciplinary approaches to the central texts located at the beginning of German literature is a treasure packed with valuable information and a testimony to the author’s extensive knowledge of the primary texts, including their editorial history and scholarly reception.
		Edwards’s collection of essays thus promises to be of interest to both graduate students and scholars in the fields surrounding Old High German language and literature, as well as early medieval literary culture.

		Nevertheless, they have distant relatives in North Sea Germanic languages and in ON to the extent that, as Sievers showed, antlingen/antlingôn must be related to a word antlang, not actually attested in OHG* but with cognate forms in OS (cf.

	Old High German Literature
		It has already been pointed out that there is little in the Old High German period which can be classified as literature.
		This was at least in part due to the chaotic state of society, a condition that ensured that any literary works produced were written in monasteries or at least by persons close to the Church.
		The meter of the Hildebrandslied is thus the same as that found in the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf and the Old Saxon Heliand, but the vicissitudes of transmission have produced considerable irregularities, so that some lines cannot be scanned according to the rules.
