If a person comes from Nigeria, they are Nigerian, but what about a person from Niger? Everyone thinks I am going racist here, but I am not. I would ask the same question of any other 2 countries. Austria and Australia are separated by the "l", but what do you call the Niger/Nigerian people to signify where they are from?

I think in this case "Nigerian" can apply to people from either country. I can see the potential for confusion here. Maybe we could call them "Nigermen" That has a nice ring to it. Its kinda insulting to the women from Niger, but I suspect they are used to it.

Unfortunately, I do not have an answer for you. But I believe this is a valid question. Don't let childish people get to you.
Although I have no knowledge on the topic, I would venture to guess that starrwodde's answer sounds quite sensible

ok in Niger the people are called by their tribes instead of using the name of the country, Hausa, Djerma,Songhai,Fulani and the Tuaregs, hence the name of that tough car.

why do you want to know ? If you are from Washington
state you could be called a washationeon. Iam not
being child like. I have been to Australia you would love to go
to the movie theater because guess what its spotlessly clean.
no food on the floors or any trash.

Austria = Austrian
