Where did the Amish immigrants come from?

The Amish people are Swiss and German. They typically speak a German dialect until they attend school, then they are taught English and German. Usually about the age of six.

Answer2: The Amish are descendants of a group of 17th-century Anabaptists. Their name derives from their leader, Jacob Amman, who lived in Switzerland. From their study of the Bible back then, these God-fearing people recognized that infant baptism and military service were wrong. Because of their stand, the government persecuted them. A few even paid for their religious convictions with their lives. Persecution continued to increase, and a number of them were forced to flee to other parts of Switzerland and to France. By the middle of the 19th century, thousands had fled to the United States. With them, they brought their culture and the Swiss German dialect.

Why do Amish men stink?

The perception that Amish men may have an unpleasant odor could stem from their traditional lifestyle and practices. Many Amish communities prioritize simplicity and self-sufficiency, which can include limited access to modern hygiene products or practices. Additionally, their clothing, made from natural fibers and often worn for extended periods, may not always be laundered as frequently as in more urban settings. However, it's important to recognize that personal hygiene varies widely among individuals, regardless of cultural background.
