Nationalities not ending in "ese," "ish" or "an" (ex. Savoyard)

The other thread about “The Irish, the Swedish, the Jewish” got me wondering about uncommon suffixes for denoting somebody’s nationality. Most of them are either “ish,” “ese” or “an.” Scottish, Chinese, Italian, etc.

Let me just say obviously I’m referring to the English names for these nationalities, because of course in other languages they are going to be different.

But in English, there seems to be a pretty small number of nationality names which do not fall into either the “ish,” “ese” or “an” categories. Here are the few I could come up with:

Savoyard
Basque
Greek
Turk
Manx
Thai
Afghan
Bangladeshi

I’m probably forgetting some…what are the others?

“Serb” doesn’t count because "S

French
Swiss
Czech
Welsh
Cypriot
Iraqi
Israeli
Yemeni
Kazakh
Pakistani

Cypriot.

Filipino
Israeli
Pakistani
French
Croat

Is Jewish a nationality now?

Good God, how could I have forgotten “French?”

I’m not sure if Croat counts because as I almost said at the end of the OP before hitting Submit too soon, as in “Serb,” people also say “Serbian” and “Croatian.” I’m talking about names that have no “an” form.

Basque (a nationality, even if they don’t have a country).

Sure. That’s what you call people who come from the nation of Brooklyn.

I’ve heard that Kazakhs are the ethnic group whereas Kazakhstani would be a citizen of Kazakhstan.

hmmmm looks like an “an” to me

Dutch, or Hollander, or (more correctly) Netherlander.

Kraut,
Wop,
Frog,
Dago,
Pom,
Yank,
Chink,
Jap.

There’s loads of 'em for the casual racist.

Kind of, but the “an” comes from the name of the country itself and is not a suffix added to a shortened form of it. I guess that one’s on the borderline.

“French” and “Welsh” are etymologically -ish.

New Zealanders
Monegasque

Argentine

From my trusty list of countries and denonymns, I count 41, which out of nearly 200 countries is about 20% of them:

Azerbaijani
Bahraini
Bangladeshi
Batswana (for Botswana)
Burkinabe (for Burkina Faso)
Cypriot
Czech
Djibouti
French
Greek
Icelander
Iraqi
Israeli
I-Kiribati (for Kiribati)
Kosovar
Kyrgyz
Kuwaiti
Basotho (for Lesotho)
Liechensteiner
Luxembourger
Malagasy (for Madagascar)
Montenegrin
Dutch or Netherlander
Kiwi (for New Zealand)
Nigerien (for Niger)
Omani
Pakistani
Filipino
Qatari
Seychellois
Solomon Islander
Somali
Surinamer
Swazi
Swiss
Tajik
Thai
Turkmen
Uzbek
Yemeni

There’s a few others like ‘Lao’ which could be in there but it’s also become acceptable to say ‘Laotian’ so they probably don’t count…

“Scots.” Not “Scottish.”

(Yeah, I know, Scottish is probably the more common term these days, but Scots fits your OP request and I’ve been yelled at by Scots when I called them Scottish)

It is not clear whether the OP is asking for adjectives describing a nationality, or demonyms (nouns meaning people of that nationality). E.g. Icelandic vs. Icelander. From the description it sounds like the former, because there is no such thing as “a Scottish”. But then “Turk” doesn’t fit.

“Scottish”, btw, is fine as an adjective. “Scots” and “Scotch” are also used, depending on what you’re talking about. For example, the parliament is the Scottish parliament, not “Scots”.

Then German is borderline too, isn’t it?
