Ashkenazi Jews aren't more strict than Sephardi Jews, this question is based on a false assumption.
Yes, but Ashkenazi Jews are stricter than Sephardi Jews.
Sephardic Jews live all over the world, and speak the languages of the countries they live in. The most common first languages of Sephardic Jews are:HebrewEnglishArabicSpanishPortugueseTurkishFrenchLadinoLadino was once a prominent language of Sephardic Jews. It was a Jewish dialect of Medieval Spanish. Today there are less than 100,000 native speakers, almost all of which live in Israel, with a minority in Turkey. (There may be as many as 300,000 second-language speakers all over the world.)
Yes. The practice was abolished around the year 1000 for Ashkenazic Jews and around 1955 for Sefardic Jews.
The Reform Jews are not, strictly speaking, entirely Jewish anymore, whereas the Orthodox Jews are traditional and believe in the sanctity of the prayers and building.
Only two? Ashkenazic (northern European), Sephardic (Spanish/North African), Romaniot (Eastern Medeterranean), Mizrachi (Iraq, Iran), and Yemenite (Yemen). Oops, that's not two. Some people ignore the Yemenites and Romaniot and fold the Mizrachi into the Sephardic, making just two, but that's impolite. Perhaps you mean some other two kinds of tradition? Jews eat no leavened bread on Passover and circumcise their male children? But there are so many more traditions than that!

what if the state law was stricter?
Hispanic Jews, also known as Sephardic Jews, celebrate Hanukkah in much the same way as Ashenanzic (European) Jews do. However, there are a few differences: only the head of the household may light the menorah (among Ashkenazim, each person lights a menorah); the traditional songs differ (though many Sephardi Jews often sing the Ashkenazic Ma'oz Tzur nowadays) and they have a tradition of eating dairy rather than oil-fried foods.
The Vatican acknowledges that Mary and Jesus were Semitic. People of semitic racial origin (Sephardic Jews and Arabs) are not black, although much darker than most Europeans.
Ashkenazi Jews are an ethnic group comprised of Jews who went to Europe after the expulsion. Ashkenaz was the word for Germany in the Middle Ages, but it generally applies to Jews with a European ancestry.
That depends on their individual personalities and how they were raised by their own parents. It's NOT uncommon for mothers to be stricter than fathers.
Hasidic Jews are a subcategory of Orthodox Jews. The majority of Hassidim wear long coats, while most other Orthodox Jews wear regular suits. On Sabbath and festivals, Hassidim wear a fur hat called a streimel, while other Orthodox Jews wear hats more similar to standard styles.
