Dilganato

Dilganato is the eastern-most state in Cobura. It is bordered by Domale to the west, Egato and Lake Majatra to the North, and Borenu (in Jakania) to the east. Dilganato has three major cities: Eros, Gwen and Crystal Tokyo.

=Naming= 'Dilganato' is not a word in any of the major languages of the region or Cobura. It is an anglicised version of the the 11th-14th century Augustanii name for the 'Governity,' "Gobernadad de la Qanato," which itself is an Augustacised version of a Majatran name for the area, Al-Qanāt (though the more usual name among Majatrans was Al-'Aqnāt).

The name was Augustacised from the Majatran instead of being translated in order to prevent any potential naming crisis with the local population, who were Majatran muslims to a large extent.

The anglicisation of "De la Qanato" came about through the mass immigration of celts whose dominant language was Irkawan-English.

The word Qanāt, if translated properly, would be "channel" in Irkawan-English and "galleria" in Augustanii.
