Coherent written texts in Old High German did not appear until the second half of the 8th century, and some sources date the start of Old High German to 750 AD. However, there are also Elder Futhark inscriptions in German dating to the 6th century, as well as individual words and names in Latin texts before the 8th century.

    Old High German (OHG, German: Althochdeutsch, German abbr. Ahd.

    ) is
    the earliest stage of the German language, conventionally covering the
    period from around 700 to 1050. Coherent written texts do not appear until
    the second half of the 8th century, and some treat the period before 750 as
    "prehistoric" and date the start of Old High German proper to 750 for this
    reason. There are, however, a number of Elder Futhark inscriptions dating
    to the 6th century (notably the Pforzen buckle), as well as single words and
    many names found in Latin texts predating the 8th century.
