Noun 1. The standard German language; developed historically from West Germanic.[Wordnet].
Expression 1. The Teutonic dialect of Upper or Southern Germany, -- comprising Old High German, used from the 8th to the 11th century; Middle H. G., from the 12th to the 15th century; and Modern or New H. G., the language of Luther's Bible version and of modern German literature.
