Dress
How do you dress?
Hutterites have a dress code. The dress code is more pronounced with some groups, i.e. the Lehrerleut and the Dariusleut in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Schmiedeleut Hutterian Brethren's dress code is typically as follows: men wear suspenders, usually black or dark trousers, and any kind of buttoned shirt. Married men traditionally wear a beard.

Women wear below-knee-length dresses; younger women and girls wear brighter colored dresses than older women. Women also wear a Kupf-ti'echle or a black, polka-dot-peppered head covering. Girls between the ages of 3 to about 10 wear a mitz which is bonnet-like head covering.

Ownership
Who owns what in the colony?
Goods are owned communally in the community, i.e., all moneys earned from different businesses belong to everyone on the colony. If members need different items, they ask for it and if it is a necessary item, it is bought for them. Most items are given out according to the need (Acts 2:44-47; Acts 4:32-35). Things like farm equipment, vehicles, etc, are bought and paid for by the colony and used by whoever needs or is responsible for them.

Any kind of Aagnutz (Eigennutz, any method of earning personal spending money) is frowned upon and greatly discouraged, especially by the Schmiedeleut branch. The example of Ananias and Sapphira is often sited as proof that aagnutz is a vice that ought to be avoided (Acts 5:1-11). Hutterites have some personal belongings in their homes though that the colony provides for them or allows them to purchase.

Language
What languages do Hutterites speak?
Hutterites speak a German dialect, more specifically a dialect they picked up from the Carinthian province in Austria. Hutterites originated in southern Austria and northern Italy (the area of Tyrol) and Carinthia - www.hutteritehistory.org

Hutterites actually speak three languages: Hutterisch, their German dialect; German, standard German which they learn in school; and English.

They follow Anabaptism, and their services are in German, and the women sit on one side and the men on the other. And they all arrive at church at the same time, looking out of their windows to see when the revener walks to the church house..
Oh and by the way, Hutterites are smarter than the englische, not only that they are more normal. Moreover there are no Hutterite perverts, as there are in the outside world.

And they don't try to push their religion on other people. They are ladies and gentlemen, and the kids are respectful.

They are most close to the Amish, There are a few colonies in the western states like Montana or Wyoming. Also, quite a few in Canada. National Geographic did a story about them a few months ago, maybe your library could help you find it.
