A branch of the Anabaptist movement, commonly associated with voluntary abstention from electricity and other modern conveniences, use of plain clothes and head coverings, and an emphasis on farming. Their language, Pennsylvania Deutsch (not Dutch), is used at home and in church. Pennsylvania Deutsch is a derivative of German. Some Amish children attend Amish-only schools, while others attend public schools. They tend to be highly community and family oriented. The majority of the Amish live in central/western Pennsylvania, middle Ohio, and middle Indiana.

A group of religious people that believe touching any piece of modern technology will result in them going to hell. They live in cabins with and raise crops and animals because they believe that feeding and washing animals on a daily basis is easier than going to a local supermarket to buy food needed for the next two weeks.
Amish Mom: Don't wash your hands after you take a shit because that is unsanitary and you will go to hell.
4-year-old in suspenders: Yes Mother, I also just got back from washing the pigs after they rolled around in the mud.
