Are you aware of P1549 (demonym) in Wikidata? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1029#P1549 has the adjectives you are looking for, at least for some languages. It might not be ideal, but it exists. Encoding further grammatical details (word order, any other words needed) would need to be language specific, but I think you can see how a language-based template pointing to Q1029, P1549, and the Q item for the occupation would accomplish this.

Hi,

I want to auto-generate disambiguation description for African
politicians to be added to Wikidata, e.g. from the country Mozambique
(Q1029) the following descriptions should be generated:

Mozambican politician (en)
Mosambikanischer Politiker (de)
politico mozambicano (it)
...

This could be extended to other professions. My questions:

- Can anyone point me to data sources where to best look up country
adjectives such as "Mozambican"?

- Where/how to best store the lexical information for best reuse with
other renderers

- If a create small renderers for this short descriptions, what
architecture do you prefer for best reuse?

My just-get-it-done solution would be a set of CSV files and a few lines
of Perl code, but maybe this use case can be aligned with Abstract
Wikidata to better learn about it.

Looking forward to collaborate,
Jakob
