Old Order Mennonites and Old Order Amish sects are often grouped together in North America's popular press. This is incorrect, according to a 2017 report by "Canadian Mennonite" magazine: The customs of Old Order Mennonites, the Amish communities and Old Colony Mennonites have a number of similarities, but the cultural differences are significant enough so that members of one group would not feel comfortable moving to another group. The Old Order Mennonites and Amish have the same European roots and the language spoken in their homes is the same German dialect.(link is external) Old Colony Mennonites use Low German, a different German dialect.
