Die deutsche Sprache bzw. Deutsch ([dɔɪ̯tʃ]; abgekürzt dt.) ist eine westgermanische Sprache, die weltweit etwa 90 bis 105 Millionen Menschen als Muttersprache und weiteren rund 80 Millionen als Zweit- oder Fremdsprache dient. Das Deutsche ist eine plurizentrische Sprache, enthält also mehrere Standardvarietäten in verschiedenen Regionen. Ihr Sprachgebiet umfasst Deutschland, Österreich, die Deutschschweiz, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Ostbelgien, Südtirol, das Elsass und Lothringen sowie Nordschleswig. Außerdem ist Deutsch eine Minderheitensprache in einigen europäischen und außereuropäischen Ländern, z. B. in Rumänien und Südafrika sowie Nationalsprache im afrikanischen Namibia. Deutsch ist die meistgesprochene Muttersprache in der Europäischen Union (EU). Ursprünglich bestand der deutsche Sprachraum aus einer Vielzahl von Mundarten innerhalb eines Dialektkontinuums, das sich aufgrund der zweiten (hochdeutschen) Lautverschiebung in hochdeutsche (oberdeutsche und mitteldeutsche) und niederdeutsche Mundarten einteilen lässt. Die Standardsprache mit ihren Standardvarietäten, Deutsch oder Hochdeutsch genannt, ist das Ergebnis bewusster sprachplanerischer Eingriffe. Das Standarddeutsche überspannt als Dachsprache den Großteil der Mundarten des Dialektkontinuums. Die Germanistik erforscht, dokumentiert und vermittelt die deutsche Sprache und Literatur in ihren historischen und gegenwärtigen Formen. Die deutsche Gegenwartssprache umfasst einer neueren Untersuchung nach mehr als fünf Millionen Wörter, fast ein Drittel mehr als noch vor 100 Jahren.
