"Argentinian" is OK too but in Argentina we English speakers tend to say "Argentine" :)

Terry Gilman
: 2 decades ago I learned that the -inian is just a wrong analogy with other nationalities, but have since seen it in The Economist. I'd go with Argentine (typically pronounced -teen in AmE and -tyne in BrE)
