Surface Forms

Europan singular
Europans plural

Morphology

Europan = Europe (transparent) = Europe + an

Formed by the productive suffix '-an' on 'Europe' to create a demonym/adjectival/naming form; the meaning 'relating to Europe' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Europan comes from Europe and the ending -an, which means 'from' or 'of', just like in European. So, Europan is a made-up language meant to be a common language for people of Europe.
