Vanga language: vanna, vannás (archaic)
Vanga nation: vąijó
Vanga person: ván
to speak Vanga: vąivild

The ‹ą› represents /a~/ (nasal /a/) and the ‹nn› represents /N/ (velar nasal). The word ‹ván› is the one that has retained the original stem the most pure.

The French entry is just a little off. A French person is called "un(e) Français(e)" with a capital F, while the language is called "le français" with a lowercase F. This pattern holds true for any nationality/language pair.

Image Silvish
Person: (m) Sivécs / (f) Sivécza [sɪˈve sɪˈve.ɕa]
Language: sivécs [sɪˈve]
Speaker: lema-sivécza [ˈlɛː.ma sɪˈve.ɕa], silvofon [sɪ(l).vɔˈfõː]
Country: Siveia [sɪˈvɛː.ɪ̯a]

The word for a Silvish speaker (lema-sivécza) is ambiguous, especially when talking about a woman, because lema sivécza (Silvish language) is pronounced exactly the same. Context usually clears this up, because if I say that a woman is a lema-sivécza I probably don't mean that she is the Silvish language. Additionally, lema-sivécza (Silvish speaker) can be either masculine or feminine and doesn't decline for case or number; but lema sivécza (Silvish language) is only feminine and declines for both case and number.

:ind: Indonesian

orang indonesia, bahasa indonesia, orang indonesia/pembicara bahasa indonesia, indonesia
orang indonesia, bahasa indonesia, orang indonesia pem-bicara bahasa indonesia, indonesia
human indonesia, language indonesia, human indonesia NMLZ-speak language indonesia, indonesia

Ethnicity and nationality is usually defined by your native language(s), that's why you usually use 'orang indonesia' for the speaker and the person.

:con: :png: Wena:

Wena is the first person exclusive pronoun and has come to be used as an endo- and exonym. Among the Wena people themselves, they may also use the inclusive form wana, especially in situations calling for Wena pride or solidarity.

Person:
  • ngo Wena
    human PL-1s
Language:
  • nenge Wena
    PASS-communicate PL-1s
Speaker:
  • (ngo) nge Wena
    (human) communicate PL-1s
The word ngo is added to make the gnomic aspect clear (someone who speaks Wena generally, as opposed to at a perticular time), which is otherwise unspecified.

Country ... in terms of area, like "this is bat country":
  • bu Wena
    land PL-1s
    "Wena land, Wena territory, Wena country"
Country, as in nation:
  • Babwa Nyugini
    Biyendyi

    Papua New Guinea
    PNG

    ... both usually pronounced as babwanyu gini and bi ye ndyi, the latter of which happens to mean something that stops, which is scary/a monster.
Glossing Abbreviations: COMP = comparative, C = complementiser, ACS / ICS = accessible / inaccessible, GDV = gerundive, SPEC / NSPC = specific / non-specific, AG = agent, E = entity (person, animal, thing)
