Old High German is the earliest stage of the German
language, conventionally covering the period from
around 750 to 1050. There is no standardized or
supra-regional form of German at this period and Old
High German is an umbrella term for the group of
continental West Germanic dialects which underwent
the set of consonants changes called the Second Sound
Shift. Old High German had six phonemic short vowels
and five phonemic long vowels. Both occurred in
stressed and unstressed syllables. In addition, there
were six diphthongs. Old High German had six

The Second Consonant Shift:
While the First Consonant shift led to the formation of the specific
Germanic consonant system differentiating it from Proto-Indo-
European one, the Second Consonant shift took place later (between
the 5
th
and 9
th
cent.) in Old High German and is usually termed the
High German Shift.
English and the Low German languages – Dutch, Flemish and
Plattdeutsch differ from Modern Standard German partly because
Standard German has undergone the Second Consonant shift. Thus,
English, for example, preserves the older Common Germanic sounds
which were changed in High German.
The Second Consonant Shift affected only Proto-Germanic voiceless
stops and split Germanic into two sets of dialects, Low German in
the north and High German in the south. The High German
consonant shift altered a number of consonants in the Southern
German dialects and thus also in modern Standard German, Yiddish
and Luxemburgish and so explains why many German words have
different consonants from the obviously related words in English
and Dutch.
