Orgin of the "N" Word

The word “nig…” at one time was one of the most revered and sacred words of the ancient Egyptians, to be more precise, the Khemites, who called their land Khemet (The Black Land). Ngr, (pronounced “en-ger”), the father of the “n” word, was the ancient Egyptian word for god. As one can see, there are no vowels in this word. In the ancient African and even the present African languages (the Afro-Asiatic linguistic family) the vowels “a,e,i,o,u” are not found in many translations, particularly of ancient Hebrew and Egyptian languages.

Ntyr, (pronounced net-jer), the Egyptian word for “nature,” is also a word used for god. It is easy to see how a slight mispronunciation could easily lead to “nig...”
In many African languages, particularly the Niger-Congo language family, words that connects with people, gods, and groups begin with “n” and that word is always the first word. Many common names also begin with “N”.
Some common examples follow:
N-g-r (Egyptian; pronounced en-jer) = god
N-t-y-r (Egypt; pronounced net-ger) = god, divine
Negash (Ethiopia; ne-gash) = king
Negus (Ethiopia; ne-goos) = emperor
Nkosi (Xhosa; en-kosi) = god
Ndaba (Zulu; en-daba) = council/officials (gathering of elders)
Naga (East Indian, Nubian = people
Nugarmarta (West African = people

HOW THE N BECAME CORRUPTED

The Romans are probably the first Europeans to misrepresent the word. About the early part of the First Century, Romans tried to invade Ethiopia. The Romans had a name for Blacks; it was “Niger” and it meant Black or people of African origins. Thus, Septimus Niger would have meant, Septimus the Negro. Yet, how did the Romans connect the word “Niger” to Black.

In ancient times, Black kings were worshipped as gods. The gods of Greece came from Egypt. The worship of the Black Madonna is connected with the worship of Isis, the Egyptian goddess. Moreover, Blacks in Egypt called their Pharaohs “En-ger” or “N-g-r”; he was literally referred to as “the god.” It is very possible that when the Romans tried to invade Nubia, they asked for the name of the leader and the term “N-g-r” was probably used in place of “leader” or “king”. In Angola, the same also happened during the 1600’s when the word “N-gola” which means “king”, came to be “Angola,” the name of a kingdom in south western Africa. A Roman general invading Nubia from Egypt would probably have used the Egyptian term for Pharaoh, which was “N-g-r” (god). This term then was used to refer to all Blacks and as time went by, the word N-g-r became Niger.

Thus ends the first installment of little known Nubian history. and I’ll add this for free. The Romans also classified their Emperors as “gods,” to follow the Egyptian style. Moreover, as the History Channel pointed out, Rome was a collection of villages before the Egyptians built it up.
