Note
A regular plural: the noun simply adds -s, unlike demonyms that stay unchanged in the plural. The -s belongs only to the noun, though. Pakistani is also an adjective, and adjectives never take it, so it is Pakistani families and Pakistani cricket, never Pakistanis families. Because the noun covers people of Pakistani descent as well as those from Pakistan, the plural can name a diaspora as readily as a nation.
