desi
Desi is a loose term for the people, cultures, and products of the Indian subcontinent or South Asia and their diaspora, derived from the Ancient Sanskrit ''देश (deśá or deshi)'', meaning ''country''. "Desi" countries include Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
Aside from the subcontinent, there are also large Desi populations in Australia, Canada, Fiji, Guyana, Malaysia, Mauritius, the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and the UAE in particular), New Zealand, Singapore, Suriname, the United Kingdom, and the United States, among other regions.
==Etymology==
(アッサム語:দেশী), (ベンガル語:দেশি), (グジャラート語:દેશી), (ヒンディー語:देसी), (カンナダ語:ದೇಶಿ ), (マラヤーラム語:ദേശി), (マラーティー語:देशी), (シンハラ語:දේශිය), (ネパール語:देशी), (オリヤー語:ଦେଶୀ), (パンジャーブ語:ਦੇਸੀ), (タミル語:தேசி), (テルグ語:దేశీయుడు)-desiyudu not as commonly used as Bharatyeeudu, (ウルドゥー語:دیسی), (マレー語:desa)
The ethnonym belongs in the endonymic category (i.e. it is a self-appellation). Desi is an Indo-Aryan term that originates from the Sanskrit word ((サンスクリット:देश)) ' ("region, province, country"). Indo-Aryan Sanskrit is the root of more than 25 Indo-Aryan languages and the first known usage of the Sanskrit root is found in the ''Natya Shastra'' (~200 BC), where it defines the regional varieties of folk performing arts, as opposed to the classical, pan-Indian ''margi''. Thus, ((サンスクリット:स्वदेश)) ' refers to one's own country or homeland, while ((サンスクリット:परदेश)) ' refers to another's country or a foreign land.
