Want this question answered?
Amish people speak Pennsylvania German, but they are not called Pennsylvania German. Pennsylvania dutch are actually just any people of German descent who settled in Pennsylvania. When the Germans came to Pennsylvania, people thought they were saying "dutch" when they were actually saying "deutch" which means German.
A lot of Germans settled in Pennsylvania. They are called The Deutsch (pronounced do-ich'). People started saying Dutch instead of do-ich'. it was a more English way of saying Deutsch. The Pennsylvania Dutch are German, not Holland Dutch. Germany had the deutsche mark for their currency before the Euro's.

They were German immigrants the term is really Deutsch for German. I understand that the German immigrants that left Germany in the 17th century seeking religious freedom, settled in Pennsylvania and when they were asked where they were from?

The English speaking Pennsylvanians understood it to mean they were from Dutch land, where in fact they were saying they were from Germany.

Pennsylvania. When the Germans came over from Duetschland, they mainly settled in and around PA. When asked where they were from by the locals, they said Duetschland. The colonists believed that they were saying something along the lines of the Land of the Dutch, and therefore name them the PA Dutch. What they didn't know was that the Germans were really saying Germany in their Native tongue. You should all know this, its basic US History.
When Mr. Smith asked what the capital of Pennsylvania, Meg got answer right by saying "Harrisburg" OR (since there's two meanings for captital) Mrs. Anderson told the class "Always use capital letters when using a proper noun."
