Cara Penulisan Asal Negara(Nationalities) dalam Bahasa Inggris
Pembentukan kata sifat kebangsaan dan kata benda dari nama negara tidak selalu sederhana dalam bahasa Inggris. Gunakan kata sifat kebangsaan berakhir di -ese atau -ish dengan kata kerja jamak, untuk mengacu pada semua kebangsaan. Kata sifat yang tercantum juga sering mengacu pada bahasa yang digunakan di negara tersebut, meskipun hal ini tidak selalu terjadi.
CONTOH

Dalam beberapa kasus, kebangsaan atau kedaerahan dapat secara negatif dikorelasikan bagi sebagian orang, karena alasan sejarah dan politik. Ketika kata ini harus digunakan, banyak orang tidak akan menggunakannya, melainkan akan menggunakan kata sifat yang lebih netral + “people” formulasi atau “people from” + nama negara. Ini adalah kasus untuk contoh dengan asterix bawah. Formulasi alternatif, kecil kemungkinannya untuk memberikan pelanggaran, diberikan dalam kurung.
