imagine a world where Monaco's demonymic pattern was the standard.

Monégasque
Canédasque
Saudi Arébasque

current NYE party topic of conversation is this Wikipedia page

It’s never occurred to me to wonder before but what exactly does it mean “to wuther”? Or is it the OE demonymic ending -ing, as in “kin of Wuther”?

loving the wikipedia list of adjectival and demonymic forms of place names run

I'm pretty familiar with a number of demonymic euphemia qua cum, and this is the first I'm hearing about this

It’s /not/ just dumb, but severely lacking in fundamental self-respect, and would be scandalous if done to anyone else. Nations get to choose their demonyms and nobody thinks “American” is pan-demonymic in English, which likewise shouldn’t have to bow to made-up norms from other languages.

The Spotify DJ said I listened to a lot of “polish pop” (pronounced like nail polish instead of the demonymic form for Poland) and my brain short-circuited for a second 🤯

And that it’s not an actual word, it’s an initialism combined with demonymic ending.

Most other languages relatively consistently have demonym nouns for nationalities as their own distinct words from demonymic adjectives (as with Spaniard and Turk versus Spanish and Turkish), whereas English sometimes doesn't and that might make ESL people think "an English" isn't stylistically odd

See if you can work out the origin of the word "Hamburger".

Clue: it's an indeclinable demonymic adjectival noun in German.

There's also the bonus that it'd piss off anyone who thinks that demonymic surname should imply whiteness.

Nope! We're going with the spectacularly-open-to-interpretation-while-also-subtly-implying-POC "Brown."

apparently the demonymic form of "Waterdeep" is "Waterdhavian"

I am using the term for Americans deliberately because i believe that social cohesion will increase when you collectively, choose to use a true demonymic instead of one this is shared by all of us that live in America…

Budapest, rebound!
Orban's never gonna keep you down
Budapest, rebound!
Elected a demonymic surname now

Cool fact: "French drains" are like "German chocolate cake" in that they are very American things named after American inventors with European demonymic surnames.

So apparently Hausa is now the only official language of Niger. This could be a good opportunity to did the demonymic confusion between Nigerien and Nigerian.

Niger in Hausa (and Arabic) is Nijar. The demonym in Arabic is Nijari. Both of these are totally different from Nigeria(n)!

Hot linguistic take: All english demonymic adjectives should end in -ish to simplify things

Germish
New Zealish
Belgish
Gibraltish
Etc
