  Shina (word) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally a word used neutrally in both Chinese and Japanese, the word gained a derogatory tone due to its widespread usage in the context of the Second Sino-Japanese War.
In fact, even before the Republican era, the term "Shina" was one of the proposed names that was to be equivalent to the western usage "China." Chinese revolutionaries, such as Sun Yat-sen, Sung Chiao-jen, and Liang Qichao, used the term extensively, and it was also used in literature as well as by ordinary Chinese.
In the meantime, "Shina" was used as commonly in Japanese as "China" in English.

On world or regional maps printed in the Japanese language, the "Shina" portion of that name always appears in katakana instead of in kanji.
For those without Japanese-capable browsers, what he says is that "Shina" is written in katakana because it comes from the French name for China, "Chine", which in turn comes from an ancient (B.C. 206) name China had for itself, "Shin".
It is an old word, and hardly anybody uses it anymore.

Dardic or Shina are Aryan languages but the vocabulary of either while closely related to Sanskrit is associated with that part of the latter on which the modern Indo-Aryan languages do not draw to whereas on which Kashmiri in common with other Indo-Aryan languages does depend.
These correspond to the cognate words found in other Indian languages as are derived from the Sanskrit words 'paniya', 'jala', 'dhanya' and 'ghotaka' having the same meanings respectively whereas the Shina words for the same are related to the Sanskrit 'vari', 'bribi' and 'ashva' respectively.
The inherited words from Sanskrit change their asperated sibilants to 'h' for example sat (hundred) changes to hat, sak to hak (a pot herb), the palatals d and t change to 'r', for example nad to nar (ravine) and Bhattaraka to Bror (base, brar).

Mori used an old Japanese word for the country considered by many Chinese to be derogatory, as he discussed foreign affairs at his inaugural press meet as premier yesterday.
The use by right-wing Japanese politicians of the older word “Shina” to denote China, rather than the more common modern expression “Chugoku,” has in the past inflamed Chinese ire.
It is closely associated with Japan’s brutal occupation of a large swathe of China during their 1937-1945 war, which reached a bloody nadir in the infamous 1937 Nanjing Massacre.

Anyway, flipping through the words derived from Classical Chinese into Japanese, I encountered the word "支那," which is pronounced as "Shina" in Japanese and "Zhina" in Chinese.
This spoils the prior assumption I held that "China" was just a mangling of the word "Qin," which was the first unified dynasty of modern-day China (cf.
It actually circulated to the Tang along with Buddhism from Central Asia where the word "Cin" was used to refer to whatever was China at the time.

Dennis says: <> In Bungei Shunjyuu (Nov. 1997) Ishihara says he asked the former Chinese ambassador to Japan why Japanese cannot call China SHINA, a word used from hundreds years ago.
It looks much more appropriate to think that Ishihara resists to use Chuugoku and Chuugoku-jin because (1) he's frustrated by the claim that SHINA is the same as Chink and (2) he does not want to use CHUU-GOKU, which implies China's hegemony over other countries.
I also think Ishihara had better give up calling China Shina but I could not follow your conspiracy arguments.

 When the Sand Runs Out...
The word for Christ in early Greek is "Xristos," which begins with the letter 'chi,' similar to the letter 'X' in the Roman alphabet.
During the 16th century, the Europeans used "X" as an abbreviation of "Christ," henceforth creating "Xmas." Back then, people understood this for what it is. However, most people nowaday do not know Greek and therefore take offense at Xmas, believing it to be undermining Christmas.
Of course, it doesn't help that many who use the word "Xmas" does have the intention of making it more secular than "Christmas," even though they are essentially the same thing.
