In historical linguistics, the High German consonant shift or second Germanic consonant shift is a phonological development (sound change) that took place in the southern parts of the West Germanic dialect continuum in several phases. It probably began between the 3rd and 5th centuries and was almost complete before the earliest written records in Old High German were produced in the 8th century. The shift distinguishes High German from other West Germanic languages, which did not experience the shift. The degree that the shift was experienced within High German distinguishes Central from Upper German dialects, as well as dialects within both Central and Upper German.
