[edit] Title
Common usage throughout the world is that terms of the kind "onenation othernational" mean those who are citizens of "othernation" with origins in "onenation" - in other words that the normal term for someone who was British with origins in Bangladesh would be "Bangladeshi British". "British Bangladeshi" would describe someone who had immigrated to Bangladesh from Britain. That would agree with normal British grammar, where modifiers generally come before the noun; i.e. "tall British" rather than "British tall". To most people a person who described themselves as "British Bangladeshi" would imply that they primarily identified as "Bangladeshi".
If "British Bangladeshi" is really the most used term then we need references to support this, and certainly a mention in the article as to why. DJ Clayworth (talk) 15:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
