During the early Middle Ages, the West Germanic languages were separated by the insular development of Middle English on one hand and by the High German consonant shift on the continent on the other, resulting in Upper German and Low Saxon, with graded intermediate Central German varieties.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-271.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-271.txt
