Why the Amish Are Laughing All the Way to the Bank
One Word for the World Beyond
To the Amish, everyone outside their community falls under one term: “English.” It doesn’t matter if someone hails from Japan, Zimbabwe, or Sweden; if they aren’t Amish, they’re “English.” This quirky tradition goes back to the early days when Amish settlers first encountered English-speaking outsiders, and the label simply stuck.
They couldn’t exactly call non-Amish people “Americans,” as the Amish consider themselves American too. So, “English” became the universal tag for anyone not part of their community. This unique perspective adds a curious charm to Amish culture, reflecting their steady traditions and distinct view of the world beyond their close-knit society.
