Andaquian

/ˌændəˈkiːən/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of the Andaqui people, their culture, or their language.

Etymology

Derived from Andaqui with the English suffix -an, following the standard pattern for converting ethnonym and place names into adjectives (like 'Peruvian' from 'Peru').

Kelly Says

Adding -an or -ian to place and people names is such a consistent pattern in English that we barely notice it, yet it's a grammatical tool that lets us talk about whole cultures with one syllable.
