You guys realize that USA isn't the only 'estados unidos'?

Oi, but we were independent first! We've got dibs! 💪
Los Estados Unidos de América despertó!

[OrthodoxHipster]

Yeah in Brazil too XD
we say or Estadounidense ou NorteAmericano

Norte Americano isn't used for Mexicans, is it? Or is that only used aos Americanos Septentrional?

[OrthodoxHipster]

American is enough, no need for Wokeceanian, Bruvahoodie, Sorostanian, Squadronian, etc.

I American't witchu

These 2 are too unwieldly and lack flow, so if you want something as euphonic as American, try something like Unido, Unidoes.

We were also the first country in the Americas to gain independence, so don't we get dibs on the demonym "American" too then?

I was just thinking about what these would be if they were more anglicized. Perhaps, Unitarian and Unitarians. Totally different connotation. Probably best to stick with Unido, Unidoes as you've suggested.

Not every language knows as as 'Americans' as can be seen in previous comments. In my opinion it's just a fun exercise, but in a practical sense alternatives to 'American' tend to be less U.S. centric. For instance, the Germans call us US-Americans. This term is more specific and I'd contest, more practical because it distinguished those from the U.S. and those from the Americas.

In French, there are no words other than Américains.
We can sometimes hear "états-uniens", but it's more to designate things than people.
