Bantu languages are spoken basically east and south of the present day nation of Nigeria, in the regions commonly known as central Africa, east Africa, and southern Africa. Parts of this Bantu section of Africa also have languages from outside the Niger-Congo family.
You could try the word “apparent” - it’s a synonym to evident and definitely fits in the second blank. If all else fails, search up “synonyms to evident” and choose as you like. I hope this helps :)
