The Amish, also known as Pennsylvania Dutch, are a group of people who prefer simple lifestyles.. They are usually farmers, and they do not use electricity or automobiles. The ancestors of the Amish came from Germany in the 18th century, and now most of the Amish live in Pennsylvania (Lancaster County) and Ohio, in the United States. They are related to the Mennonites. They speak an old dialect of German, known as Pennsylvania German.

Amish characters are in the movie Witness, starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis.
