November 8, 9.02 p.m. I’ve often looked for a list of names-for-people-from, it’s hard to guess the word. The names of the countries are Iceland and Ireland. Why is it Icelandic and Irish, instead of Icelandic and Irelandic, or Iceish and Irish? Moroccans come from Morocco and Congolese from the Republic of the Congo, although both countries’ names end with ‘o’.
November 8, 9.12 p.m. The name of a nationality in English sometimes has nothing to do with the name of the country in English. There’s no word for US citizens derived from the name of the country, the United States of America. They are called Americans. The people from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are called Britons or British, but Great Britain is just a part of the UK.
November 8, 9.15 p.m. I can think of another example — the word Dutch for people from the Netherlands. The Netherlands is sometimes called Holland, which doesn’t make it any easier. Using a dictionary helps, of course. Still, I’ve spent a lot of time learning the pairs The Netherlands (Holland) — Dutch, and Denmark — Danish.
