Apologize for the following off topic remark: The Dutch in Pennsylvania Dutch (as well as Dutch as in people from Holland) originally meant any Germanic people (ultimately from Indo-european tewteH, meaning tribe). The Pennsylvania Dutch have little connection with Netherlands as far as I know, so calling their language Dutch (as in "Dutch names") in contexts like this is confusing: using the full form "Pennsylvania Dutch" would disaambiguate.
