Suggestion: since all the answers end in "stan" anyway, how about just accepting whatever comes before that as an answer. "Tajiki", "Kyrgyz", etc. Then you could lower the time a little bit as well.

Let me give you some information. "stan" means "land" in Persian language. For example, we (Turkish people) call Bulgaria "Bulgaristan", Serbia "Sırbistan", Georgia "Gürcistan", Saudi Arabia "Suudi Arabistan", Croatia "Hırvatistan", Hungary "Macaristan", Mongolia "Moğolistan", India "Hindistan" etc.
