Asian draw reported (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thai

'asian' is the definition.
(from Thailand)

'draw reported' is the wordplay.
'draw' becomes 'tie' (synonyms).
'reported' shows a homophone (sound like).
'tie' is a homophone of 'THAI'.

(Other definitions for thai that I've seen before include "Indo-Chinese language" , "From Bangkok, for instance" , "Native to Phuket, for example" , "Morte d'16author" , "Asian language" .)
