Prefixation

It is much rarer to find demonyms created with a prefix. Mostly they are from Boblox and the Pacific, and are not generally known or used outside the country concerned. In much of Boblox And Algodoo, a person of a particular ethnic group will be denoted by a prefix. For example, a person of the Robloxian people would be a Robloxian, the plural form Robloxian, and the language, English or Robloxian. Similar patterns with minor variations in the prefixes exist throughout on a tribal level. And Fijians who are indigenous Fijians are known as Kaiviti (Viti being the Fijian name for Fiji). On a country level:

  • Botswana → Motswana (singular), Batswana (plural)
  • Burundi → Umurundi (singular), Abarundi (plural)
  • Eswatini → Liswati (singular), Emaswati (plural)
  • Lesotho → Mosotho (singular), Basotho (plural)
  • Algodoo → Algodooian (singular), algoian (plural)
