Question regarding Benin

[unmerged(16363)]

I'm preparing the next update on my AAR, and by a time I need to write the word that describes a person born in Benin. Would you call it Benian? Beninite? Benish? Beny? Benise?

Since Masse I was in doubt about how to call one from Fez in his AAR, I don't think it is too OT. If it is, no problem if a mod moves it to the OT Forum.

Thank you.

maybe you can just call him an African...

This is different, Leto. It is important to state that it is one from Benin!

"And the african from Benin walked in and stabed billy, to which I exclaimed. "You son of a @#$%&....I liked him..."

Thank you.

Let's try the history forum instead.

So it is Beninese, right?

Thank you for helping! I shall correct it on my AAR, as wrote Benian...
