Drop the word "people".....(but assume it can be placed later)

In Freebase, we had 2 properties on Country called:
Official Language
Languages spoken

We also had on Location a property called:
Adjectival Form

Adjectival Form had a description that said: "The adjectival form of this location (e.g., "French" for France, "Glaswegian" for Glasgow). This property can be used by applications when creating titles or lists (e.g. by referencing this property when creating a title, such as "French actors"

Hi James,

This is quite similar to my proposal for a "culture" property [1], which would be used e.g. for Tenochtitlan [Q13695] has "culture" Mexica [Q3307681] (and probably also has culture Aztec [Q12542]). You could potentially extend the usage of this attribute so that you could have the "culture" of the Aztec Empire set to Mexica.

I agree with Andrew that "inhabited by" is a property that needs adding - though in this case, it wouldn't  indicate that Mexica were rulers of the Aztec Empire, just that they lived in it.

Thanks,
Lawrence

Hi James,

Interesting question, this one. There's no easy way to link, eg,
"France" and "French people".

We have a property for "category of associated people" (P1792), so:
France [P1792] Category:French people; & in turn that has a
"category's main topic": Category:French people [P301] French people -
but this is very convoluted!

I wonder if this might be something looking for a suitable new
property - "inhabited by"? "associated nationality"?. Alternatively,
we could use P17, "country", on the item for the population group -
this is a bit generic, but it would work.

Andrew.
