Andamanese

== English == === Etymology === From Andaman +‎ -ese. === Noun === Andamanese (plural Andamanese) A native or inhabitant of the Andaman Islands. ==== Usage notes ==== As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am an Andamanese", "writing about Andamanese cuisine as an Andamanese") is uncommon and often taken as grammatically incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Andamanese") or before a noun like person, man, or woman ("writing about Andamanese cuisine as an Andamanese person"). See also -ish, which is similarly only primarily used as an adjective or as a plural noun. === Proper noun === Andamanese A minor language family spoken on the Andaman Islands. === Adjective === Andamanese (not comparable) Of or relating to the Andaman Islands. Of or relating to the Andamanese language family. ==== Translations ====
