"What do you call someone from the south in English?"
The answer to this question is straightforward: "Southerner." However, if you prefer a shorter term, you can use "southerner" or "southie." These terms are often used informally among people from the South.
If you want to be more formal, you can say "南方人" (nánfāng rén) which literally translates to "people from the south." This term is more common in written Chinese than in spoken English.
It's worth noting that while these terms are generally accepted and understood, using them can be seen as regionalist or even discriminatory by some people, particularly those who identify themselves as Northerners or Centralians. Therefore, it's always a good idea to be mindful of others' perspectives and avoid using such terms unless you know they will be comfortable with them.
