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.
Dutch is an English word that comes from Deutsch, or German, because Dutch and German are very similar languages. In fact, the Pennsylvania Dutch in the US are actually of German ancestry, but their Deutsch langauge got misinterpreted as Dutch.. Spelling is another matter.
