Highest Alemannic (Hegschtalemannisch) is a branch of Alemannic German and is often considered to be part of the German language even though mutual intelligibility with Standard German and other non-Alemannic German dialects is very limited.Highest Alemannic dialects are spoken in alpine regions of Switzerland: In the Bernese Oberland in the German-speaking parts of the Canton of Fribourg in the Valais (see Walliser German) and in the Walser settlements (mostly in Switzerland but also in Italy and in Austria; see Walser German).
