Niger - pannous/hieros GitHub Wiki
See negro for various neutral meanings of black
The Niger language family was formed and heavily influenced at the time of the green Sahara when groups from the Near East brought new technologies in waves to Northern Africa. Some people around Lake Chad, which used to be an inland fresh water sea bigger than the Caspian, still have R1B genes.
The Green Plains of the Sahara were initially linked to the growing Egyptian Empire. So it's no surprise that we recognize many words from our Egyptian language in the Niger family:
