Noun
[edit]Sudanese pl (plural only)

Usage notes
[edit]As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Sudanese", "writing about Sudanese cuisine as a Sudanese") is uncommon and often taken as incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Sudanese") or before a noun like person, man, or woman ("writing about Sudanese cuisine as a Sudanese person"). See also -ish, which is similarly only used primarily as an adjective or as a plural noun.
