| | The High Church Tradition |
 | | However, the resurgence of the High Churchmen was to be shortlived as Anne also died without surviving issue in 1714, to be succeeded by an obscure and boorish German Cousin. | | | The High Church leanings of New England were strengthened by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel's support for the Church in New England and New York. | | | The High Church movement within the Anglican Church has its origins in the later sixteenth century. |

| | _ swiss german language speak speaking Switzerland guide |
| | High German, or Hochdeutsch (also known as Schriftdeutsch, “Written German”) is the same language used throughout German-speaking Europe. | | | Everybody writes in High German (which is also the language of all signs and public notices) – but when reading out loud, they mentally transcribe the High German text into their own dialect of Swiss-German as they’re going along. | | | No one speaks High German in everyday situations in Switzerland – oral use of High German is restricted to school education, the mass media and public speaking. |

| | The High German varieties spoken by Ashkenazi Jews (mostly in the former Soviet Union) have several unique features, and are usually considered as a separate language, Yiddish. | | | Although a dialect continuum still exists at certain places along the Dutch-German language border this is fading away because of standardisation in both countries, as can be seen in the pictures to the right in which the dialectal borders and the standard borders can be seen. | | | Note: The Romanian language used to use in the past the Slavonic term "nemţeşte", but "Germană" is now widely used. |

| | Basel German is a mix between High and Low Alemannic (most, but not all, Alemannic dialects spoken in Germany are Low Alemannic), and Chur German is basically High Alemannic without initial [X] or [k_X]. | | | The grammar of Swiss dialects has some specialties compared to German: there are fewer forms (only one past tense compared to three in German, only three cases compared to four in German) and the syntax has more freedom. | | | The Swiss German dialects also do without a future form. |

| | Alemannic German - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Ulrich Zwingli's bible translation of the 1520s (the 1531 Froschauer Bible) was in an Alemannic variant of Early Modern High German. | | | From the 17th century, written Alemannic was displaced by Standard German, which emerged from 16th century Early Modern High German, in particular in the wake of Luther's bible translation of the 1520s. | | | Since Standard German itself is based on Upper German dialects (Standard German has Apfel "apple", agreeing with Alemannic Öpfel, as opposed to Central German Appel, see High German consonant shift), it would be more artificial to consider Alemannic a separate language from German than it would be to say the same of Low German. |

| | However, by the 18th century, High German had gained such force that the Low German began to be mixed with High German. | | | This dialect is not specific to a geographical area, as are all other Low German dialects, but rather it is associated with a religion. | | | The various Low German dialects in the area east of the Elbe River are of relatively recent origin. |

| | The Crusades impacted all levels of society in the High Middle Ages, from the kings and emperors who themselves led the Crusades, to the lowest peasants whose lords were often absent in the east. | | | The Fourth Crusade all but destroyed the Byzantines, and their power was further reduced by the Ottoman Empire into the 15th century. | | | One of the most important events of the period was the series of religious Crusades, in which Christians fought to retake Palestine from the Muslims. |

| | languagehat.com: Comment on WILAMOWICEAN. |
| | There he writes that the dialect is "an archiac form of Silezian-German, directly originating from Middle High-German." Apparently, the people from Wilamowice only thought that they are descendent from Flemish settlers, but it's not clear from linguistic point of view. | | | In the movement eastward and southward of German, there was some leapfrogging - for instance, German in South Tyrol was separated by some Italian-speaking bits from the rest of the German-speaking area. | | | The latter is a form of Low German and might be the main dialect group it belongs to. |

| | The forms of High German are German [High Saxon, Alemanni, High Frankish, Swabian, Bavarian, Austrian, Luxembourgese, Alsatian, Styrian], Swiss German, and Yiddish. | | | The origin of their dark coloration is ancient, from the Roman army in the third and fourth centuries, C.E. The Roman army of this time period was mostly made up of German mercenary soldiers, but along the German border, the Romans preferred to station non-Germans. | | | If you have been told you are Black Dutch or part Black Dutch, you must find out what the name of the German, Dutch or Flemish immigrant was (if there was one), where he or she came from, what their religion was, if any, etc., before you can figure out to which group they belonged. |
