Highly : 매우, 극도로, 몹시, (많은 존경/존중을 바탕으로) 높이 (평가하여), 크게(칭찬하여), 대단하게
High : 높이, 높게
I want to look at the differene between high and highly as adeverb
firstly, high is an ajdective, a high mountain, a high price
1)
but high is also an adverb
he threw the ball high into the sky
high as an adverb, mostly talking about an elevated positions
the bird flew high in the sky
I can't sing that high, a high pitch
high, we normally tal about in a high place
high for a high position
he looked high above his head
he placed it high one the shelf
look high
throw high
aim high
2)
whereas, highly, we normallly use as an intensifier
to say very, extremely, very much
he is a highly visible
this is highly desirable
he is highly qualified
he comes highly recommended
I would like to praise highly
he is highly strung individuals
this is highly dangerous
highly is acting as an intensifier, it's saying very
highly difficult
highly amusing, extremely amusing
highly esteemed
highly respected
3)
now, there is some crossover of these two
that I think maybe where the problem might come because we also use to say in a very esteemed way
they spoke very highly of you, I think we use highly in a highway or in an esteemed way
to think highly of somebody
to speak highly of someone
higly paid
highly placed
highly visible
he spoke highly of her, here to a high level
I wound't say he spoke high of her
highly, to a high degree, to a high extenet, favorably with a lot of respect
whereas high, indicates in a position at the top, to a lofy position, to a luxurious way
he lived high on the hog
Formality : 5 for both
