   The Wikipedia article on Niger and the online Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries say that the proper term is Nigerien… But The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage (1999) and Merriam-Webster’s Eleventh Collegiate Dictionary (2003) say that the proper name is Nigerois. And Merriam-Webster online now lists both Nigerien and Nigerois as correct forms. Is this simply a terminological difference between U.S. (or North American) English and British English, or is one word truly more appropriate than the other?

   
   Clearly they should be called Nigers
