[Cz-L] German Pronunciation

I have started to teach myself German. I remember my mother said this was her first language until Kindergarten. She said my Grand mother (from Czernowitz) spoke High German and pretended she could not understand Yiddish. I am having so much fun finding origins of words I am familiar with like "Laks" (salmon), which is spelled Lox here. My questions are, what is High German, was that the dialect of German that was taught in Czernowitz, and how was the word "ich" pronounced? ---Danke, Ellen
