herrow ^w^. I wanted to make this thread to get more into how you call your own people in general and the actual pronouncement of said demonyms. I shall go first ^w^. Please feel free to add whatever is related to your post. (I feel as if Nationstates and it's demonym isn't specific enough)

lovely Sentences:
