The word "amisze" refers to a Christian religious community that originated in Switzerland, known as the Amish in English. They are a conservative branch of the Anabaptists, founded by Jakob Ammann in the late 17th century. The Amish are known for their simple living, plain dress, and reluctance to adopt many modern technologies. They primarily live in rural areas of the United States and Canada, especially in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario. Their community is characterized by living according to strict traditional rules called the Ordnung, which regulates many aspects of daily life including technology use, clothing, and grooming. The Amish speak a dialect of German called Pennsylvania Dutch for everyday communication, while German is their ceremonial language. They reject child baptism, preferring adult baptism, and maintain a lifestyle emphasizing family and community separation from modern society.
