Template:Adjectivals and demonyms for nations

^a  Formerly known as Upper Volta.
^b  Sometimes considered offensive.
^c  The penultimate syllable is stressed.
^d  The second syllable is stressed.
^e  Rare and/or archaic.
^f  Formerly known as Burma.
^g  There is no adjective or demonym that distinguishes the Republic of Ireland from the entire island of Ireland. When distinction from Northern Ireland is necessary, the colloquial Southern Irish or Southerner is sometimes used; this is not advised, however, as people in the Republic of Ireland may find this offensive. As an alternative, an adjectival phrase may be used – for instance, "a law of the Republic of Ireland" – or, as a last resort, the name "Republic of Ireland" may be used as if it were an adjective (as in "a Republic of Ireland law").
^h  In near-universal use, though many adjectives for U.S. citizens have been proposed.
ⁱ  In near-universal use, though many alternative words for American have been proposed.
