:The terms are used by linguists, just not a majority.But that's not the reason why those terms are used on wikipedia. 

 :Unsigned comment by  

 Low German language is just one letter short of Low German languages.2 words that look very similar yet mean something totally different. The first is just the commonly used name of Low Saxon, a language of the past now reduced to a dialect.Low German languages is a classification. Now, wikipedias aim is to provide information and accurate information too. Many wikipedians contributing to these articles felt that when using the regular terms, the confusion would just become too much: 

 German, Low German, High German, Low German language, High German languages. 

 A layman/person, might think the following:  Low German (Low Saxon) is a German (High German) dialect ... Dutch is a Low German dialect (as in the classification) - conclusion -  Dutch is a German dialect. 

 To avoid these kind of things, we use High and Low Germanic.There is nothing wrong about those terms though. Unless you could think of other Germanic language able of being called High and Low.Anyway, just stop reverting.It's a waste of time.
