Tyska (: deutsche Sprache, Deutsch) är ett germanskt språk, talat av omkring 120–150 miljoner människor (varav cirka 95 miljoner har det som modersmål). Detta gör språket till Europas största eller näst största språk (efter ryska) och det germanska språk med näst flest talare i världen, efter engelskan. Tyskan är världens tolfte största språk. Tyskan har ett stort antal dialekter, till exempel bayerska, kölsch och westfaliska, vilka brukar delas in i huvudgrupperna högtyska och lågtyska. Till skillnad från många andra germanska språk har tyskan bevarat mycket av den urgermanska grammatiken. Ett exempel på detta är rika kasusböjningar, men språket har i andra avseenden förändrat sig mer från urgermanskan än många andra språk, bland annat genom en ljudskridning där /p/ blivit /f/ (svenska skepp, engelska ship, tyska Schiff), /t/ blivit /s/ eller z (svenska tid, engelska tide och tyska Zeit och svenska äta, engelska eat och tyska essen) och /k/ blivit ch (svenska språk, engelska speak, tyska Sprache).
