Lesson 1B: Nationalities

There is a rule (regla) which says that nationalities and languages are in capital letter. Let's have a look:

ENDING	COUNTRY	NATIONALITY	LANGUAGE
-ISH	The United Kingdom Scotland	British Scotish	English Gaelic
-AN	Germany Morocco Mexico Colombia	German Moroccan Mexican Colombian	German Arab Spanish Colombian
-IAN	The USA Russia Peru	American Russian Peruvian	English Russian Spanish
-ESE	Portugal China Japan	Portuguese Chinese Japanese	Portuguese Chinese Japanese
Other forms	France The Netherlands Greece Wales Thailand	French Dutch Greek Welsh Thai	French Dutch Greek Gaelic Thai

Notice that the nationalitiy and the language is the same in many occasions but sometimes there are differences, especially to talk about the people of that country. Have a look this other chart:

COUNTRY	ADJECTIVE	A PERSON
England Poland Finland Denmark	English Polish Finnish Danish	An Englishman/woman A Pole A Finn A Dane
