Hutterite German is a dialect of German spoken by the Hutterites, a communal religious group primarily found in North America. This dialect has evolved from the Austrian German spoken by the Hutterites when they migrated to North America in the 19th century. It incorporates elements from English and Pennsylvania German, reflecting the group's interactions with surrounding communities. The language is characterized by its unique vocabulary and pronunciation, which can differ significantly from standard German. Hutterite German serves as a vital part of the Hutterite culture, helping to maintain their traditions and communal identity while also facilitating communication within their communities.
