Word Ways
Abstract
The words we use to refer to people from various countries do not always follow a predictable pattern. Thus, someone from Switzerland is Swiss, from Wales Welsh, and from Holland Dutch. Each sentence below contains the name of a country and an adjective describing the nationality of the country's inhabitants. Letters that are identical in both words have been omitted. In each case the answer is unique.
