Adjectives of nationality and geographical origin (and a collection of little bowls from around the world)

I was at my parents' house for a few days. My mom has a collection of little bowls from different parts of the world, so I said to myself, "Why not make a video about this?" and so I did.
 
Here's the link to the video I made:

☘︎ Did you notice from the video that all these adjectives of nationality and geographic origin end in "an”, "ish" or "ese”?


Adjectives of nationality and geographic origin that end in:

☘︎–"an": Namibian, Chilean, Romanian, Bulgarian, Ecuadorian, Italian, Canadian, Peruvian, Bolivian, Australian, American, etc.

☘︎ –"ish": Turkish, English, Scottish, British (from the UK), Spanish, etc.

☘︎ –"ese": Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Burmese, etc.


A few end in –"i" as well:

☘︎ –"i": Qatari, Somali, Iraqi, etc.


Which adjectives of nationality are irregular (don’t match any of the word endings above)?

Which was your favorite bowl?
I like the Japanese bowl because it’s the only one that I've added to the collection. ^_^
