Demonyms

[ceemac]

The title has nothing to do with demons by the way, but is apparently the name that geographers call the word that describes where somebody comes from eg a person from Aberdeen is an Aberdonian.

Someone yesterday referred to people from Dalaman as Dalamanders, so I thought it would be fun to figure out what a native of places where we live/holiday in in Turkey is called.

Because my place is in Turgutreis, I guess I could be a Turgutreisian?

Incidentally, did you know that someone from Cambridge is a Cantabrian?

Okay you lot, off you go........
