Yes (just) to Scotch.
Shouldn't that be Scots? Call a Scotsman Scotch and he's likely to hit you over the head with an (empty) bottle of the stuff.

Nancy Mitford claimed that "Scotch" is the U-term.

I don't have a horse in that race, though. I have no objection to Yank.

I can see that I have slightly misled with one of my examples. Instead of German I should have said Germans.

I have therefore given credit for nationalities where this might have made a difference, and adjusted the listed answers.

I have also had, on careful checking, to withdraw my approval of Turkmenistani and Luxembourgeois

So to clarify: I am looking for the word that is for the people of a country, not the word for an individual, and none ending 'ans', 'ish' or 'ese'. (Note that in my examples, if I was looking for the name of an individual from a country I would have had to say Spaniard and Chinaman)
