Title of a ruler in some Asian countries (4)

I believe the answer is:

khan

(Other definitions for khan that I've seen before include "Imran --, Pakistan's PM" , "Central Asian ruler" , "Title given in parts of Asia to important people" , "Mongol or Tartar ruler" , "Central Asian title of respect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
