Morphology

Sudanese = Sudan (transparent) = Sudan + ese

Productive demonym/adjectival suffix '-ese' is added to the country name 'Sudan', yielding an obvious meaning for learners.

Etymology

Sudanese comes from the country name Sudan, which in Arabic was called Bilād as-Sūdān, meaning 'land of the blacks'. The ending -ese is the same as in Chinese or Japanese, so Sudanese means 'from Sudan' or 'relating to its people and culture'.
