Hello everybody,
I'm new, I'm an italian girl, I don't speak Polish. Could someone tell me if a native or resident of Warsaw is called Warsawian, Warsavian or Varsovian? Or all the three?

I would say that "Varsovian" is the most correct:

Varsovian

–noun
1. a native or inhabitant of Warsaw.

In polish,
native or resident is:
male: Warszawianin
female:Warszawianka

Sometimes male is "Warszawiak"

I take it Poles pronounce 'Warsaw' as you would expect rather than as westerners say it? (The 'W')
