Usage notes

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