April 9
editPeople from Krasnoyarsk
editI've searched Google and read the article on Krasnoyarsk but I can't seem to find a demonym. I'm currently using Siberian as a placeholder but surely there is a more precise term to describe someone from Krasnoyarsk? Thanks 173.33.12.81 (talk) 23:18, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know – and, frankly, doubt – whether an English demonym exists, but Russian Wikipedia provides a Russian one: masculine красноярец (krasnoyarets), feminine красноярка (krasnoyarka), plural красноярцы (krasnoyartsy). The city's name comes from Красный Яр (Krasnyy Yar), literally "Beautiful Ravine" – in case you want to Anglicize it and create your own demonym out of that. — Kpalion(talk) 23:40, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
