Demonym (plural demonyms) – A name for an inhabitant or native of a specific place that is derived from the name of the place.

This partly came about because of the confusion surrounding Tecán's demonym, some say "Tecano" others say "Tecanese". (Which is it Tecán? :P )

In other words, what is the name for the inhabitants of your country?

In English
Neragua – Neraguan(s)

En español:
Neragua – Neragüeño(s) (m); Neragüeña(s) (f); Neragüense(s) (m/f)

Likewise, in English, anything relating to Neragua or its institutions is Neraguan, e.g. the Neraguan Government.

How about your country? :)
