Indianer

Indianer: adjective. To be Indianer is to have more characteristics associated with Indians than another person. The word is a bone of contention for many Indians, as those inland claim to be Indianer than those on the borders and on the coast, owing to their geographical position in the "heart of India." As well as this, many Native Americans calling themselves Indians resent the argument amongst Indian Indians, claiming that they themselves are Indianest - the reason for which is not quite clear.
