Nigerien
Niger citizen's descriptor
Nigerien refers to someone or something from Niger, the landlocked West African country.
The term distinguishes people of Niger from Nigerians, who are from neighboring Nigeria.
Nigerien farmers face increasing desertification.
The accent on the final syllable (nee-ZHAIR-ee-en) reflects French colonial influence.
