Britishers

United Kingdom natives

Britishers is a dated or regional term for British people, used mainly in India and South Asia.

In Indian English, it remains current and neutral: The Britishers ruled India for two centuries.

Elsewhere it sounds old-fashioned or slightly awkward, with "Britons" or "the British" preferred.
