§PronunciationEdit
From Persian چینی (čīnī, “Chinese; porcelain”), compound of چین (čīn, “China”) and the suffix ـی (-ī), from Middle Persian 𐭰𐭩𐭭 (čīn, “China”), ultimately from Sanskrit चीन (cīna).
Typically thought to be derived from the Qin (Wade-Giles: "Ch'in") Dynasty (秦朝), though some suggested Jin (Wade-Giles: "Chin") (晋) instead since in ancient Chinese "Qin" had a voiced intial consonant.

- A region in East Asia comprising the areas governed by the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan).
