Here&#8217;s a map of adjective endings for the countries of the world, as suggested by Charles Troster. It was actually very easy to put together using the country data included in Mathematica 6.0; the full code is below. The key is: blue = -ese green = -ian red = -an pink = -ish purple = -i brown = -er yellow = -ic grey = anything else (or Mathematica doesn&#8217;t know) It&#8217;s just matching strings, so Thailand is purple, when that obviously isn&#8217;t an -i suffix. And Mathematica hasn&#8217;t recognized Kosovo yet, so that&#8217;s in green along with (the rest of) Serbia. (via Language Log&#160;» A map of adjectival forms of place names
