Glaswegians
People from Glasgow
Glaswegians are people from Glasgow, Scotland's largest city.
The term functions as both noun and adjective: Glaswegians are known for their distinctive accent, the Glaswegian sense of humor.
The pronunciation follows the pattern of Norwegian rather than Glasgow itself—the "weg" rhymes with "vee."
