Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Paki (slur). Please take a moment to review my edit.

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Exonym?

The first line in Etymology says the word was "derived from the exonym Pakistan". Is "Pakistan" an exonym? Given that "Pakistan" is the name used by Pakistanis to refer to the country, it is an endonym. Other Banana (talk) 16:51, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
