PA Dutch usually means amish, which is ironic because amish dosnt mean german although they speak it. They are a mixture of german, swiss, netherlands, and eastern eroupean decent.
Don't know a Dutchy that considers themselves Amish once now anyway. Mennonites are big here though. My local post office still has two parking spaces for horse and buggys with tie up posts...even have white horseshoes painted on the ground like they do with the wheelchair on handicapped spots. The real stedfast old timers still say Pa German.
