Xi'anese vs. Xi'anish

When a adjective is required for word Xi'an, I think word Xi'anese is much better than Xi'anish, because the suffix -ish has a derogatory meaning. With the suffix -ese, the word Xi'anese can also refer to people lived in Xi'an and language spoken in Xi'an, being much more useful than Xi'anish.

Huis' street is a food market located in the central place of Xi'an, it was mainly built around late 1990s', it's been called the Huis' street, but it actually is an area taken place of at least six different streets of Xi'an city. As the matter of fact, there are more foreign tourist to visit and try famous food just as how many local people of Xi'an would pick it as a dining place as well, besides that, tourists from all over other different cities of China would pick this place to mainly visit in Xi'an as well.
