The High German Consonant Shift or the Second German Consonant shift was a series of sound changes which separates the Upper High German dialects and other West Germanic languages such as Modern English, Dutch, and Low German. There are four major steps of this sound shift, and then there are other shifts which separate High German from other languages.
