German Standard German, [1] [2] Standard German of Germany, [3] [4] or High German of Germany, [5] is the variety of Standard German that is written and spoken in Germany. [1] [2] [6] It is the variety of German most commonly taught to foreigners. It is not uniform, which means it has considerable regional variation. [7] Linguist Anthony Fox writes that British English is more standardized than German Standard German. [7]
