Historically they have spoken the dialect of German known as Pennsylvania German or Pennsylvania Dutch. In this context, the word Dutch does not refer to the Dutch people or their descendants, but to Deutsch (German).ennsylvania Dutch is most likely a corruption of the endonym Deitsch, which is a local variant of the modern German endonym Deutsch, meaning German.
Lexically, Pennsylvania Dutch is also very similar to southeastern Palatine German dialects, though approximately 10%â15% of its vocabulary is derived from English. There is a difference of opinion over whether Pennsylvania Dutch should be called a language or a dialect. Most Pennsylvania Dutch people, when speaking English, call it a dialect, in part because of its difference from standard German and also due to its use mostly in speech rather than writing.
