From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

This template should be used to generate the definition line for demonym adjectives such as Spanish, Polish, Tucsonian and Arizonan (adjectives indicating that the specified noun is of, from of relate to a given place). The content is generated by Module:demonym.

The template supports the following parameters:

|1= (required)
Language code of the term; see Wiktionary:List of languages.
|2=, |3=, etc.
One or more English-language toponyms (place names) where the nouns qualified by this term are of, from or related to. Alternatively, a description may be used such as any of several cities and towns in the [[United States]] named [[Springfield]]. See examples below.
|t=, |t2=, etc.
Zero or more English glosses for the term, if it is in a language other than English. This parameter is optional, as there may not exist such terms in English, or they may be rare or awkward.
|sort=
Sort key. Rarely needs to be specified.
|nocat=
Don't categorize. Normally, the term is categorized into a language-specific version of the set category Category:Demonyms (e.g. Category:it:Demonyms for an Italian term).
|nocap=
Don't capitalize the first letter of the generated text. By default, capitalization happens only with English glosses, so this has no effect on non-English terms.
|nodot=
Don't add a final period after the generated text. By default, the final period is added only with English glosses, so this has no effect on non-English terms.
