As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Nepalese", "writing about Nepalese cuisine as a Nepalese") is uncommon and often taken as incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Nepalese") or before a noun like person, man, or woman ("writing about Nepalese cuisine as a Nepalese person"). See also -ish, which is similarly only used primarily as an adjective or as a plural noun.
