	I definitely typed in "Tajik" and it didn't accept it.

	Please accept the following: Bajan, Botswanan, Djiboutian, Finnish, Guinean, Kiribati, Kyrgyzstani, Kirgiz, Liechtenstein, Maldivian, Philippine, Nevisian, Slovenian, Surinamese, Tajikistani, Emirian, and Vanuatuan. I've seen these as acceptable demonyms. Great quiz, but that's the trouble with demonyms--there are so many variations. I was surprised to see all the "stan" countries lengthened with the "i" on the end. I always used "Uzbek," "Tajik," "Kazakh" etc.

	Do you have a source for those demonyms? I'd like to see them.

	Some of these seem strange because they were taken directly from the original language of the respective country, but in that language their formation is regular. Nigerien is French, like Italien, Canadien, etc. Filipino is the normal Spanish spelling (the name of the country is [Islas] Filipinas). The final -i (Emirati) is usual in Arabic (Iraqi, Kuwaiti, etc.). The final -er (Liechtensteiner, Surinamer) is common in German and Dutch (a native of München [Munich] is a Münchner and a native of Hamburg is... well, a Hamburger).

	Please accept Finnish. Also, no Luxembourg (Luxembourgers)?

	please accept Gilbertese.

	You left out my favorite: Monaco/Monegasque. But this is tough. Another site lists Emirian where you and I say Emirati. Anyway, good quiz.

	PS. You're explanation is a bit misleading. You don't seem to want French for France, but rather, Frenchman. Generally, you are looking for the nouns, not the adjectives. That is why @koopa08 is making his suggestion. If you say, "He is a....," the word that completes that sentence is what you want. Hence, "He is a Finn," v. "He is Finnish." On the other hand, some countries don't seem to have the right word. There is nothing that completes the sentence, "He is a..." other than "person from Japan."

	I see what you are saying. I will change the text of the quiz description to reflect that, and add Monaco just for you!

	Also, people from Niger are Nigerien, to distinguish them from people from Nigeria, who are Nigerian, probably. Also, isn't Gilbertese a language? I'm looking for demonyms.

	does anyone else put in "the pope" for Vatican city?
