Desi
Desi ( or DAY-see or DESS-ee; Hindustani: देसी (Devanagari), دیسی (Perso-Arabic), Hindustani: [deːsiː]), also Deshi (Bengali: দেশী), is a loose term used to describe the peoples, cultures, and products of the Indian subcontinent and their diaspora, derived from Sanskrit देश (deśá), meaning 'land' or 'country'. Desi traces its origin to the people from the South Asian republics of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and may also sometimes be extended to include peoples, cultures and products of Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. It is most commonly used by members of the diaspora, and in recent years has begun to be used specifically to refer to the South Asian diaspora specifically rather than all South Asians.
