Explore how East and West Teutonic roots shaped German, and see how old forms evolved into modern speech. This overview traces early Gothic and runic writing, the split into distinct Teutonic groups, and the long journey from ancient grammar to the German language as we know it.

The content frames two main language groups, shows how sound and case systems changed over time, and explains how particular word families and declensions developed in different periods.

Learn how noun declensions shifted across Old High German, Middle High German, and Modern German, including changes in vocalic stems and weak declensions.

Understand the role of Gothic as a window into the original Teutonic language and its influence on later West Teutonic tongues.

Discover how comparisons across East and West Teutonic branches highlight when and why certain forms disappeared or transformed.

See how linguistic features like runic writing and early phonetic changes illuminate the history of German.

Ideal for readers of historical linguistics, German language history, or students seeking a concise, research-grounded overview.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Several good New High German grammars are in existence to supply the wants of Englishmen, but a good history of the German language has, as far as the authors know, still to be written. The present work pretends to be nothing more than a mere sketch, which they hope that they may one day have the opportunity and leisure to fill in. It was intended to call the work AS hort History of the German Language, based upon Schleicher sG eschichte der deutschen Sprache (S tuttgart, 1879), forS chleicher sbook seemed to them long to have been the best single work on the subject. But of late years the study of philology has been making such strides, and the Germans especially have applied themselves with such energy to the study of general and special linguistic studies, that it was felt to be more probably useful to give the results of the most recent studies of their own language by German philologists. The works found most useful by the authors for this purpose are afterS chleicher sG eschichte Paul sP rincipien derS prachgeschichte, Riickert sG eschichte derN euhochdeutschen Schriftsprache, Scherer sG eschichte der deutschen Sprache, and Wedewer sZ urS prachwissenschaft (F reiburg im Breisgau, 1861). To this must be added Kluge sadmirable, but all too brief Etymologisches Worterbuch der deutschen Sprache, from whose Introduction the authors have, with Prof.K luges permission, borrowed much, and as far as possible adhered to his words and illustrations. Chapter I. is, in the main, based upon Paul sP rincipien, and Chapter II. upon Kluge and Wedewer.
