Sino, Franco, ummm....Americo??

Factual Questions
1

If “sino” means “Chinese”, “franco” means “French”, and “Austro” means Austrian, what shorthand term is used for “American”?

Yank?

From what I can make out, yeah… Americo seems to be used

Google search brought up plenty of examples, but they all seemed to appear in blogs.

Here’s a book though:

Hmmm… context might be important. Completely separate from the more-or-less-Latino usage, “Anglo-” is the standard prefix for either the United Kingdom as a nation state, England as a “nation” in the other sense, or “English speaking” including U.S., Canada, and Australia et al., together or separately.

Actually… yeah… good point Polycarp

An ‘American’ can be anybody from Canada to Argentina

I think the term for this is a combining form.

Here’s a list: WARNING PDF

The list shows Amer- as the combining form for American. Now that I think of it, weren’t the offspring of American GI’s and Vietnamese women referred to as Amer-Asian children?
