I'm looking for demonyms and the adjectival forms for the Sword Coast, the Sword Coast North, and the Western Heartlands. I see they are separated into political areas in the 3E Political Region Map. I'm guessing like in our world someone or thing could have "layers", for example American and Californian.
I know within these regions there are names for say someone from Baldur's Gate, Baldurian. I vaguely remember there is a least one case in the Realms that the people and things from a region have different names.
At the end of the day I'm looking for catch all terms that NPCs might use to refer to a larger swath of people or goods from those regions.

The party come to a town befallen by hysteria
Rogue: So what's in the general store?
DM: What are you looking for?
Rogue: Whatevers in the store.
DM: Like what?
Rogue: Everything.
DM: There is a lot of stuff.
Rogue: Is there a cart outside?
DM: (rolls) Yes.
Rogue: We'll take it all, we may need it for the greater good. |

| The 2e product Forgotten Realms Adventures has some of what you're looking for, though only a small portion of it is the Sword Coast. |
I have a dream that one day, all game worlds will exist as one. |

| If you mean those three regions as large swathes, I don't know of any. You could perhaps ask Ed Greenwood. |

| The North and The Savage Lands seemed to get conflated a lot in 2E. I still don't understand whether they're overlapping parts of each other or not, lol. |

The people of Impiltur are called Impilturians (although they have regional monikers that are used internally). Goods and other inanimate objects hailing from that kingdom are described as Impilturan.
