Usage notes
Although this term for China is shared with most Central Asian and Slavic languages, whose forms of the name probably derive their -i and -y endings from Uyghur, as it refers to an era of nomadic domination over the Han, it is formally prohibited within China and functions as a kind of racial slur. While the Mongolian word is not prohibited.
