    Default What is the correct word for something made in Nepal?

    My first guess was that something made in Nepal would be Nepalian but I can't find that word in a dictionary. If a rug was made in Nepal, would it be called a Nepal rug?

    Nepalese? The spell checker doesn't reject it.

    Thanks to you both. I'll use Nelapese rug, though it doesn't fit the mouth well at all.

    Googling Adjective of Nepal gives Nepalese immediately.
