"What's the proper term for..."

Someone from Hong Kong? Hong Kongish? Hong Kongese? Hong Kongaloid?

It's something that's bothered me for a while.

Ah, the wonders of pointless English exam questions.

There are actual people there, you know.
Who, like, live. And farm and stuff. And have lived there for years.

But Ibiza got bumraped by every single conquering nation ever to exist, so they're used to it.

It's Hong Konger or Chinese depending on which the individual person decides to assign themselves.

Hong Kongolese isn't used because people from the Congo are referred to as Kongolese, with K or C as the accepted spelling:

Look under the section "People" and find "Nationality"

Chavs?
Scum?
Holiday makers?
Club Reps?
Tasteless skanky albino clubbers with alcohol for blood?

Probably Ibizan (Ibithan)

Since the 'z' is pronounced as a 'th'.

Balaeric?

Spanish?

No idea.. Ibizinian?

And who knows what someone from Ibiza is called?

I expect only me and Kyz, thanks to the wonders of random Eng Lang exams.

Excellent. That's that conundrum sorted.
