This article is about the South Asian people. For other uses, see Desi (disambiguation).
Desi (or Deshi; pronounced ['d?e?si] or ['d?e??i], Hindi: ????, Urdu: ????, Punjabi: ????, ????) is a word originally from Sanskrit literally meaning "of the country." In North America and Great Britain, it is used colloquially to mean South Asian immigrants and their descendants. This self-referential colloquialism for those of South Asian heritage living outside the Indian subcontinent was created in the United Kingdom during the early 1960s to late 1980s and is sometimes pronounced "dezzi."
In this sense, it can include:
Bangladeshis
British Asians
Hindoestanen
Indo-Canadians
Fijian Indians
Indian South Africans
Indo Kiwis (New Zealand)
Indo-Mauritians (Mauritius)
Pakistanis
Punjabis
South Asian Americans
South Asians in Australia
South Asians in Philippines
South Asians in Zimbabwe
"Desi" can also refer to someone or something "local," "regional" or "indigenous" to the subcontinent (as opposed to videshi/bideshi/pardesi ??????, ????? meaning "foreign").
