Anyone an idea where to find this? We're trying to find any sort of source for this for weeks now.

  • By the way, this info isn't always objective. For example, the formal (and perhaps proper) demonynm in English is US American – philshem Sep 17 '15 at 15:02
  • obviously we want the natives way of saying it in their language - the super official document paper US American might be not the "common" use case at all. but here is the thing: it seems there isn't any database for this anyway, so whatever form it is is okay... ;) – Tobi Sep 18 '15 at 14:30

There is a great internationalization project at

https://github.com/mledoze/countries

But unfortunately it only includes English demonyms. You might consider expanding the repo if you find a good data source.

  • see that's the problem - after looking for 2 weeks, there seems to be no single source that lists demonyms and noun and adjective in the countries native language. it's crazy... the data above is still very helpful but still. :) – Tobi Sep 16 '15 at 12:55

Like this http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry or this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag? They called locale codes BTW.

    not the language tags etc. the name of the nationality. example would be US country citizen would be a "American" or "Americans", that's what I want. the nationalities/population/citizen name in their own language. a german citizen is called a Deutscher many are called Deutsche, etc. that for every country and in it's own language.

    "identifying terms for citizens - noun and adjective"

Maybe these wikidata entries for nationalities? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Q231002
