Congo–Saharan (Kongo–Saharan) and Niger–Saharan are hypotheses which propose that Niger–Congo and Nilo-Saharan are genetically related in some way. Edgar Gregersen (1972) put forth the original hypothesis, in which he speculated that Niger–Congo and Nilo-Saharan are sister clades. Roger Blench (1995) came up with a similar idea, except, instead of the two being sister clades, he suggested that Niger–Congo is a subgroup of Nilo-Saharan, renaming Nilo-Saharan to Niger–Saharan in the context of this hypothesis.
