Uzbek or Tajik?

edit

The article currently says:

Nodirbek Yakubboev (Uzbek: Нодирбек Ёқуббоев/Nodirbek Yoqubboyev; born 23 January 2002) is an Uzbek chess player.

Someone just added Category:Uzbekistani people of Tajik descent. If that’s correct (I don’t currently see support for it in the article, and I couldn’t immediately find any elsewhere), then it should say "is an Uzbekistani chess player"; as far as I’m aware "Uzbek" is an ethnic term that clashes with "of Tajik descent", whereas "Uzbekistani" refers to citizens of Uzbekistan. Also, in case Tajik is his first language, the name should be given in Tajik, not in Uzbek.
