German is used as the official language of Germany and of Austria. Historically, German falls into three main periods: Old German (c. 750-c. 1050); Middle German (c.1050-c.1500); and Modern German (c.1500 to the present). The earliest existing records in German date back to about 750. In this first period, local dialects were used in writing, and there was no standard language.
