New High German (NHG) is the term used for the most recent period in the history of the German language. The German language (de ''Deutsch'') is a West Germanic language and one of the world's major languages. It is a translation of the German Neuhochdeutsch (Nhd). It includes all of the modern High German dialects since the Baroque period, but is often used as a synonym for Standard German. The High German languages (in German, Hochdeutsch) are any of the varieties of standard German, Luxembourgish and German literature comprises those literary texts written in the German language. Standard German ( German: Hochdeutsch) is the standard varieties of the German language used as a Written language, in formal contexts

The German term was originally coined in 1848 by Jakob Grimm for the period from 1500 to the present day, following on from Middle High German (Mittelhochdeutsch). Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm ( Hanau, January 4, 1785 &ndash September 20, 1863 in Berlin) German Philologist Middle High German (MHG German Mittelhochdeutsch) is the term used for the period in the history of the German language between 1050 and 1350 However, Wilhelm Scherer redefined it as the period from 1650, introducing a new term Frühneuhochdeutsch (Early New High German) for the period 1350-1650, and this is the most widely adopted periodisation of German. Wilhelm Scherer ( April 26, 1841 - Berlin, August 6, 1886) German Philologist and historian of literature was Early New High German (ENHG is a term for the period in the history of the German language, generally defined following Wilhelm Scherer, as the period 1350 Periodization is the attempt to categorize or divide Time into discrete named blocks In this sense, the beginning of New High German is marked by the "first German novel", Grimmelshausen's Simplicius Simplicissimus. A novel (from Italian novella, Spanish novela, French nouvelle for "new" "news" or "short story Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen (1621 – August 17, 1676) was a German author Simplicissimus was also a satirical German weekly inspired by this novel

The New High German period is characterised by the codification of German grammar and the development of a standard language in both writing and speech. Grammar is the field of Linguistics that covers the Rules governing the use of any given natural language. Unlike earlier periods, there have been few major changes in phonology or morphology. Phonology ( Greek φωνή (phōnē voice sound + λόγος (lógos word speech subject of discussion is the systematic use of sound to encode meaning Morphology is the field of Linguistics that studies the internal structure of words Rather, the standard language has selected particular features and these choices have then exerted an influence on individual German dialects. German dialect is dominated by the geographical spread of the High German consonant shift, and the Dialect continuum that connects the German with
