Demonyms of the English Counties
It has come to my attention that there are no demonyms for counties. Countries, yes, cities, yes, but in most cases, not for counties. It possible that they do exist, but i am not aware of them, which comes to much the same thing. I have decided to remedy this. Some of these are canonical, others are made up, yet others are missing.
I am using the ancient counties, rather than the modern administrative ones, as i think they correspond more closely to ethnic units.
