List of adjectival forms of place names

This is a list of adjectival forms of place names (demonyms).

In most cases, a person from these places is referred to with the same word. In cases where this is not so, this form is given after the adjective.

Typically, names ending in the letter a add an n to the end to make an adjective, while other vowels add an an. Read demonym to learn about other ways.
