My sense here is that you're thinking of a Chinese word and trying to find an English translation

She's a Russian speaker but she's Georgian.

I am not. I am Russian. :) In fact many people who aren't ethnically Georgian call themselves Georgian.

I stand corrected. Apologies.
No worries.;-)
I cannot but ask would a native English speaker also say "They call themselves Georgians"?

Yes, or "They call themselves Georgian".

In your version, "Georgians" is a plural noun. In my version, "Georgian" is an adjective.
