Everyday Grammar: Making Sense of Demonyms - Country Nouns
In this video, we look at how English forms nouns that refer to the people of a country. The name for this kind of noun is “demonym.” You can probably guess it is from the same Greek word form dem-, meaning "the people," as in the English word “democracy.”
Often the adjective and the demonym are the same, as in “American” for something from the United States and “Americans” for people from the U.S. But in some cases, the adjective and the demonym are different: the adjective for Iceland is “Icelandic,” but the demonym, what we call a person from Iceland, is “Icelander.”

The Origin & Meaning Of Country's Demonyms
▶ Support me on Patreon & get exclusive / ahead of time content! https://www.patreon.com/generalknowledge
▶ In this video I talk about Demonyms. Explaining what they are - a noun used to denote the natives or inhabitants of a particular country or region, differentiating them from the words or adjectives used to denote people from a specific heritage group or ethnicity. Also explaining how Demonyms work and how they are usually constructed: by adding a suffix at the end of a placename (or a variation of it), and understanding that the majority of these suffixes - used for Countries' Demonyms in English - are taken from the Germanic, Latin, Semitic, or Celtic originals. After this, we go through a worldwide view of what each country's English demonym is (through a map created by reddit user u/Far_Grass, which colour codes each type of suffix). First we go through the 'unique' suffixes used, such as the one in 'French', 'Swiss', 'Malagasy', 'Kosovar' or 'Cypriot', and then we go through the different categories, learning which countries have which suffixes in their demonyms. First those with "-ian" such as "Brazilian", then those with "-ean" such as "Korean", then "-an" where "American" or "German" are examples. Moving on the "-ese", "Portuguese" or "Chinese" for example. Then "-ish", such as "Polish", "British", "Swedish". Then "-i", "Omani", "Pakistani", etc. And finally "-er" only used nationally in "Luxembourger" and "New Zealander". As well as "-ic" for "Greenlandic" and "Icelandic". Understanding finally that there doesn't seem to be much of a criteria for the attribution of a specific type of suffix to a specific type of country name. With the only two possible criteria being what the name happens to be in English (so, what makes sense to use as a suffix for it), and what the origin of the suffix is; if it is "-ish" then it likely comes from the Germanic demonym for that specific place, with the origin being the cause for adoption.

In this video, we look at how English forms nouns that refer to the people of a country. The name for this kind of noun is “demonym.” You can probably guess it is from the same Greek word form dem-, meaning "the people," as in the English word “democracy.”
Often the adjective and the demonym are the same, as in “American” for something from the United States and “Americans” for people from the U.S. But in some cases, the adjective and the demonym are different: the adjective for Iceland is “Icelandic,” but the demonym, what we call a person from Iceland, is “Icelander.”
