![]() | This template uses Lua: |
Extracts from string the demonym (adjective) of a continent or country (African, Indian, British etc). Returns nothing if there is no match.
Note that the demonym in the string must properly capitalised. "Indian" will be matched, but "indian" or "INDIAN" will be ignored.
The list of countries is hard-coded in a list in Module:Find demonym, based on the list in {{ Iso2nationality}} with a few additions.
Some options allow its behaviour to be configured.
{{
Find demonym|Foo}}
This usage will return the first time in string Foo which matches the correctly-capitalised demonym of a continent or country.
If no match is found, it returns an empty string. This allows its simple use in templates, e.g.
{{#if: {{Find demonym}}|<!-- do nothing if there is a match -->|This string does not include a demonym}}
One parameter is obligatory, two optional parameters are available:
|string=value
|nomatch=value

---|---|---|---|---|
Search string | string | String to search for demonym. If left blank, the template will return a blank, the bare module will use the page name | String | optional |
Match Instance | match | If multiple demonyms are found, this specifies which match to return, where the first match is match= 1. If a negative number is specified then a match is returned counting from the last match. Hence match = -1 is the same as requesting the last match. Defaults to 1.
| Number | optional |
No match text | nomatch | If no demonyms are found, output the "nomatch" value. Defaults to blank. | String | optional |
