(i.e. Germanic, Celtic, Hellenic)

I'm a big fan of demonyms like Israeli and Pakistani, and I think the i suits Anaaxes quite well. It's shorter than the others, too.

This. In the native language, Jasminia is called Chāmeliya and the demonym is Chāmeliyāli.

The "-i" suffix with regards to nationalities would appear, in my mind, to apply to names which use the name of the country as the prefix.

So right now, I'm leaning a little more towards 'Anaaxese.' :D
