Hi all,
English is not my native language and I was wondering if there are any "rules" (or reasons) for how race names should be "constructed" based on the nation's name?
For example, you have (both real-life and invented forms)
Egypt - Egyptian
China - Chinese
Iraq - Iraqi
Greece - Greek
Stygia - Stygian
Shem - Shemite
etc.
The reason I'm asking is that I'm inventing some "fantasy" races.
Now, say there's a country called "Totrah". What would its inhabitants be called?
Totrah-nite
Totrah-nian
Totrah-an
Totrah-i
Totrah-anni
?
- thulsa
