I need to write about someone in frence for a project I have at school; probelm is, I don't know how to say what his backround is. If a guy is from Germany, or born in Canada and German parents, you would say he has a "German backround". Trinidad and Tabago"ian" backround doesn't sound right. Also, a direct french translation will be greatly appreciated. First one to say it gets the points :)

"Indo-Trinidadian people or Indo-Trinidadians are the descendents of migrants and immigrants from the Indian subcontinent who are citizens or nationals of Trinidad and Tobago." quoted from www.wikipedia.com
Thanks for the help :)

I think it is just a Trinidadian. They do not include Tobago as it would be too long. In French it is probably Trinidadien (or Trinidadienne for women).

Il vient de Trinidad; il est trinidadien.
Il vient de Tobago; il est tobaggonien.
How about he's Caribbean, he comes from Trinidad and Tobago.

You must choose. Trinidadian seems to be more common, but if you determine that they are from the other island, you may call them a Toboggan. (sorry about that)

They are called a Trini or Trinis. The former applies to Fench as well.
