Map of German varieties
Low German (Northern Germany): This region did not take part in
the second sound shift. It strongly derivates from the German as
used below the Benrath line (marked red)!
Middle German (Central Germany) and High German (Southern Germany,
Bavaria and Austria) strongly resemble each other and have been
the foundation of standard German. Switzerland's vernacular is Swiss
German (Switzertütsch) and derivates strongly from standard
German.
