Taruk
Tayoke or Tayote (Burmese: တရုတ်, pronounced [təjoʊʔ]), formerly spelt tarup (တရုပ်) or taruk (တရုက်), is an exonym in the Burmese language used to refer to China and Chinese people. The reference of this term has not remained static throughout history; rather, it has sequentially referred to two or three different ethnic groups. It does not merely relate to a bounded territory with an unchanging population, but rather to an imagined space. Initially, Burmese used this term to refer to an entity located to the north of Myanmar, and also the peoples living beyond northern Myanmar. It broadened to refer to a large category, became a designation for China and the Chinese around the 19th and 20th centuries.
