The English Language, where the grammar is made up and the rules don’t matter.
I can add:
[-er] New Zealander
New Zealand -> Kiwi.
Only in the same way Australia -> Aussie, or England -> pom. Colloquial terms
When does a colloquial term become a non-colloquial? Usage by government/official contexts?
Or just a different word completely. Dutch.
Pfft. The Dutch…
Odd way to spell Kiwi but you do you pal
New Zealander is the least odd sounding of the lot.
New Zealandish
New Zealandan
New Zealandese?
