Usage notes

 * There have been efforts by those of African descent to reclaim the word, especially in this form (nigga, and its variants such as niggah), but these efforts are controversial, and some people do not believe it is able to be reclaimed, due to its fraught history and continued derogatory usage. Usage by non-black people is usually considered highly offensive. For more, see.
 * Several variant spellings of this word have been in use for a long time, including and, which were long only pluralized with -s (niggahs, etc.) but are now often (informally) also pluralized with the eye dialect ending -z (niggahz). More recently, spellings like  and  have also come into use in informal dialogue and hip-hop. Sometimes, especially in period writing from before the mid-20th century, nigguh is specifically pronunciation spelling for a white Southern realization of nigger, and nigga(h) is pronunciation spelling for an African-American realization.
 * This word cannot be distinguished from in non-rhotic varieties, such as most British English accents.
