Betoyan

/bəˈtɔɪən/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of the Betoya people or their culture.

Etymology

Derived from 'Betoya' with the English adjectival suffix '-an,' following the pattern used for other indigenous peoples (e.g., Peruvian, Mexican).

Kelly Says

The '-an' suffix we use to describe people from places is so old it comes from Latin, and it's been applied to indigenous groups as European anthropologists tried to categorize the world's peoples.
