Answer Wiki. Pennsylvania Dutch (or Deitsch; cf Deutsch) is the umbrella term for the German settlers who ended up in east-central Pennsylvania during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The Amish are a specific religious denomination, descended from followers of Jakob Ammann, a seventeenth-century Anabaptist.
Whatever varieties of German they spoke in Europe, the Amish assimilated to the language of the majority, Pennsylvania German, which resembles most closely the German dialects spoken in the southeastern Palatinate, near the city of Mannheim. The influence of English on Pennsylvania German is often overstated. Only 10 to 15 percent of Pennsylvania German vocabulary is English-derived; its core grammatical structures remain Palatine German. The Amish speak Pennsylvania German among one another and it is the language of sermons in church. English is used mainly with non-Amish relatives and friends, but it is also the dominant medium of literacy.
