Personally, I would stick with Niger as Nigerien is too close to Nigerian. The Niger military, the Niger President, etc. Or avoid the adjective by saying the president of Niger, the military of Niger.
In other words, for the linguistically challenged, there is a difference between the vowels "a" and "e." Practice, practice, practice... Also, the stress is a little different.
In NIgeria, English is the official language. In Niger, French is the official language. Never the twain shall meet.
so then what do we call people from Niger? 😅
Haha! I had to look it up. They are Nigeriens.
thanks! wouldn't have guessed.

Pronounce it like this reads, Nye as in rye. Geer as in beer. Reee as in reeee and ins as in, but with an s. Nye-geer-reee-ins
i'm really hoping nobody needed that explanation lmao
🤓kek
The are ex-colonists of France so it's more like Nee-zher-ee-ons for pronunciation
👍
Nigerians
and what about people from Nigeria?
Sorry if I sound like an alphabet faggot but:
The demonym for Nigeria is Nigerian.
The demonym for Niger is Nigerien.
Being correct is important.
But it's also funny that it's a single letter difference.
