Which unique demonyms are there for African cities or regions?
Demonym means the word for a person from that place, so for example a person from Niger is called a "Nigérien*ne". Which places have special demonyms that aren't just "place name-ois/ese"? A few examples that I could find were "Kinois" for Kinshasa, "Dionysien" for Saint-Denis in Réunion, "Mahoran" for Mayotte, "Ouagalais" for Ouagadougou and "Maqdiwashi/Hamarawi" for Mogadishu, but I suppose that most of the unique demonyms are in the indigenous languages.
