| | Deutsch and Schwytzduetch Antimoon Forum |
| | Of the "low" West Germanic languages, the closest to standard Hochdeutsch are Low Saxon and Dutch, but neither of these are inherently crossintelligible with it, even though they may superficially seem like such to someone who doesn't speak them. | | | Note that the "low" West Germanic languages can be further split into "continental" and "North Sea" (or "insular") branches, the former being Low Saxon, Dutch, West Flemish, and Afrikaans, and the latter being English, Scots, West Frisian, East Frisian, and North Frisian. | | | If it did ever "split off from" German, it did so when the Second Germanic Sound Shift happened, which was in the early Common Era, as that clearly demarcated the separation between what would come to be called the "low" and "high" West Germanic dialects. |
