Most people from where? Everyone in Indiana says Hoosier. Maybe it is a Midwest thing, but I don’t know how I’d react if someone called me an Indianan. It doesn’t even sound correct (admittedly, at least 20% of these sound really awkward).

I’m an Indianan because I don’t want to be associated with the 5th year high school in the Southern half of our start.

English is horrible at Demonyms specifically because we’ve stolen so many words from other languages. It’s why the default is actually the phrase, “I am from…” Instead of “I am a/an…”
