Proto-Germanic (abbreviated PGmc; also called Common Germanic) is the reconstructed common ancestor of the Germanic languages. A defining feature of Proto-Germanic is the completion of the process described by Grimm's law (also known as the First Germanic Sound Shift), a set of sound changes that occurred during its gradual divergence from Proto-Indo-European.
