I guess that makes a bit of sense since I've never seen any African American or Mexican people that were Amish. So I guess they chose to look just like their enemies the Jews so no one would suspect them? Brilliant.

Brilliant. well the Pennsylvania dutch are actually German, thats my heritage just curious, why do you want to learn it? it is not widely used.

Unless you want to read the Amish Bible I don't see much point in knowing that language.
