Pakisutan

In Japanese, names of foreign countries like パキスタン are written in katakana, a script specifically designed for loanwords and foreign names to distinguish them from native Japanese words.
In fast, natural speech, the vowel in the syllable ス (su) is often 'devoiced', meaning it disappears and sounds like a soft 's' hiss.
The term 系 'kei' is appended to パキスタン to form パキスタン系, which focuses on ethnic heritage rather than just citizenship.
