Template:Adjectivals and demonyms for cities
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NB Many of these adjectivals and demonyms are not used in English as frequently as their counterparts in other languages. A common practice is to use a city's name as if it were an adjective, as in "Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra", "Melbourne suburbs", etc.
