Zhangzhounese

== English == === Etymology === From Zhangzhou +‎ -n- +‎ -ese. === Proper noun === Zhangzhounese The Hokkien dialect of Zhangzhou === Noun === Zhangzhounese pl (plural only) The people of Zhangzhou ==== Usage notes ==== As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Zhangzhounese", "writing about Zhangzhounese cuisine as a Zhangzhounese") is now uncommon and often taken as grammatically incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Zhangzhounese") or before a noun like person, man, or woman ("writing about Zhangzhounese cuisine as a Zhangzhounese person"). See also -ish, which is similarly only primarily used as an adjective or as a plural noun.
