As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am an Andamanese", "writing about Andamanese cuisine as an Andamanese") is uncommon and often taken as grammatically incorrect.

See also -ish, which is similarly only primarily used as an adjective or as a plural noun.
