Best Answer: The Amish are bilingual, and some are trilingual. Their first language is a German dialect often referred to as Pennsylvania Dutch. It is comprised of about 75% German and 25% English, which is why you probably recognize some of the words, and is spoken with a local accent. All Amish speak this dialect, regardless of if they live in PA or some other state. The Amish all learn English when they attend school. Adults and teens are fluent English speakers. Some Amish also learn to speak High German, and most at least understand it because it is the language used in their religious services.
