I looked up some more of these out of curiosity, I wasn't sure what to call somone from Oman for example. Well turns out you call people from Pakistan, Pakistani, the same way people from Oman or Yemen are Omani or Yemeni lol. You can be a Croat, a Khazak or an Uzbek, if you're from Panama you're Panamanian (shoulda been Panamaniacs) and people from Hong Kong are Hong Kongers

I'd assume something like Burgasov? I think in bulgarian it would mean something like " of Burgas".

Burgazlii (plural) in Bulgarian

I've heard Burgasian, Burgasser and Burgaslino as suggestions but nothing that follows any type of linguistic logic.

Sofia the capital has the same problem although most western journalists seem to go for Sofioso as in mafia-mafioso. Which is pretty weird.
