Note
A regular -s plural, and only the noun takes it: Iranians are people from Iran or of Iranian descent. The adjective stays unchanged before a plural noun, as in Iranian voters or Iranian languages, so the ending marks people rather than a description. When Iranian is used, nonstandardly, as a name for Persian, it names a single language and is not pluralized.
