Bashkir or Bashkort? "Bashkiria is the Fatherland of Bashkirs" or "Bashkortostan is the Fatherland of Bashkorts" ?

Bashkir or Bashkort? Bashkiria or Bashkortostan? The self-name of our nation (or ethnic group) is Bashkort. Bashkir is a translation into Russian of the name of our nation.
Bashkortostan is the Fatherland of Bashkorts. You can also say that Bashkiria is the Fatherland of Bashkirs and this will not be a mistake. But real Bashkorts prefer if we communicate directly without the mediation of Russian words and translations. That’s why it is better to say Bashkortostan is the Fatherland of Bashkorts.
