High German and Low German.

Beside the Standard German, there are two variations of the Language, called High German and Low German.

The Low German was the lingua franca of the Hanseatic League. It was the predominant language in Northern Germany, but with printing of the Luther Bible, the High German gained more prestige than the Low German, beside that the High German was started to be used on science and on the German literature, these and others reasons increase the use of the High German in the central and southern regions, which led the use of  the low German to become a language for uneducated people or a language just to be used at home. However, Germans are capable of speaking it and responding to it, but since the Second War, the use of Low German has decreased continuously.
