Birthday greetings, salutations, and well-wishes from the Lone Star State to Ron Thomas in Illinois. And I hope he will clarify a question that just came to mind. If a citizen of Texas is a Texan (a simple word conversion, yes?), then how do you call a citizen of Illinois? Please give the proper term, along with diacritical marks for pronunciation, if possible.

Apart from Illini I would not know how to answer. I suppose I could say Illinoian, broken down to something like this: ILL-I-NOI-AN
Otherwise, I think I am sunk.
Thank you for the birthday wish; 51 I am. Was in St Louis yesterday.
