Sudanese = Sudan (transparent) = Sudan + ese

The noun is a straightforward demonym formed by adding '-ese' to 'Sudan', which is directly interpretable by learners.

Etymology

Sudanese comes from the country name Sudan, from Arabic Bilād as-Sūdān meaning 'land of the blacks'. The ending -ese is like in Chinese and Japanese, so Sudanese means 'a person from Sudan'.
