History
Khedivate was established in 1711 by acquiring by Demirhan Empire a short-lived pirate state of Sugar Islands. After that with support of imperial army, former pirate leader Alaeddin Pasha was sent to mainland to conquer land in lower part of the Nukançikipa Peninsula, occupied by Inti Empire. The state, controlling most of the peninsula, was, despite the name, more a confederation of small states rather than centralised organism so Alaeddin was able to use tricks to take control over some areas without actually fighting with entire country. When central government of Inti Empire started to gather the army, small group of Demirhani soldiers were sent to Kumirt'uku where the emperor Samiyuk resided and killed him. As the soldiers had fake evidence showing that they were paid by one of the most ambitious chieftains, the murder escalated into civil war. Seeing the success of his plot, Alaeddin Pasha started to offer his protection to local governments and people, showing himself as a peacemaker instead of invader.
As a result most of the country fell into his hands soon, although some of chieftains from western part of the country preferred Florescentan protection which led to years long conflict between Demirhanis and Florescentans. Despite that inconvenience, Alaeddin demanded from the sultan hereditary position of Khedive. While initiallly the capital was unwilling to grant him such privileges, engagement in wars with Aryan Empire, forced sultan to accept Alaeddin demands and autonomous khedivate was established over Tarephia.
Alaeddinid dynasty
Alaeddin Pasha wanted to increase his power even further and soon became engaged in wars with neighboring colonies. Initially successful, he was able to capture large are around the town of Hörizonte from Florescentans. However soon the tides had turned and wounded Alaeddin returned to Yeşilkörfez where he died. His son, Orhan took the position of khedive under permission of sultan Mehmet IV. Unlike his father he was not born with a sword in hand and instead laid fundations for proper organisation of the territory and secured it's borders by signing a treaty with local Florescentan rulers.
In internal politics he developed many mosques and madrasas, speeding up local people conversion to Iman and teaching them Turquese and Mazanic. That led to diminishing role of local chieftains in the society, resulting in centralisation of power in Yeşilkörfez. As a result, peace-loving khedive was forced to face rebellion led by chieftain known widely as Çuran Ağa. In 1754, after nearly two years Çuran was killed and rebellion stopped. Orhan understood that ruling a country with only a few loyal men is dangerous and destined to fail. He decided to bring more settlers from mainland Demirhan Empire. The offer was, however, attractive only to poorer inhabitants of the empire, coming mostly from newly acquired Şirvan. Waves of Aryans, including many people with shady political past arrived to Tarephian Khedivate, and many of them quickly found comfortable place as local governors.
After Orhan's death, Aryans increased their influence even more, forcing khedive Ahmet to seek independence from Demirhan Empire. Being aware of their plans, sultan Abdülhamid II in 1808 decided to remove Ahmet from the office. Khedive initially denied but accepted the demand when large fleet left Neril to Yeşilkörfez. Since then Tarephian khedive became to be non-hereditary title and most of the autonomy was removed.
Province of Demirhan Empire
Most important task for several next khedives was diminishing influence of Aryan elites. They used to seek support among local people but both Apurimaks and Illimans were not enough to resolve problems. Demand for workforce in mines and plantations also exceeded the capacity of the local population. The only choice was to seek another migrants. Several campaigns in mainland empire were unsuccessful so khedives were allowed by Grand Vizier to seek them in other Imani lands. Call for migration in Mazan and Aden remained with little to no answer as well but was welcomed warmly in Majesia. As a result of this migration, Majesians and Walleans remain fifth largest ethnic group in the country, after Ilimans, Turquese, Aryans and Apurimaks.
Imperial constitution of 1916 brought reorganisation of the country into three vilayets. It also guaranteed Apurimaks and Ilimans, as constitutional ethnic groups right to be educated in their languages and allowed their public display which led to cultural revival. This brought topic of neo-paganism into prosperity, leading to reopening of some old temples and even establishing new which caused heavy criticism from local imams, especially after the March incident. On 21th March 1955 people gathered in the temple in Sillayuk for a Spring festival. The leader of the cult asked them to drink special drink made of local toxic plants to make the Virakoça come and resurrect the Inti Empire to its old glory. As a result of intoxication 317 people died causing countrywide discussion about permission for pagan practices as being deadly and nationalistic at the same time, however with little reaction from central government. However, pagans, along with Antharians and Hellanesians, became one of main targets of fascist government from years 1963 - 1991. Temples got closed in 1968 and soon after that many cult leaders disappeared. The situation went back to normal after death of Süleyman III in 1991 but paganism never fully regained popularity from nearly fifty years before.
Şneldorfian Kalmish
Şneldorfian Kalmish is a form of Kalmish language which evolved in Şneldorf island in Iviran Sea after the island was conquered by Demirhan Empire. During nearly 300 years of ongoing Turqese and Lorantian influence, the language underwent heavy changes not only in lexicon but also in grammar. In comparison Şneldorfian dialect of Turquese had only minor changes in vocabulary, mostly similar to the continental dialect spoken in Lorantis.
Alphabet
In 1835 per order of Sultan Mehmet VI all Turqan languages of Demirhan Empi seere stopped being written in Mazanic script and new Common Turqan Alphabet was imposed on all of these languages. The change was a basis for Şneldorfian Kalmish alphabet and spelling reform which was introduced in 1856 by tekfur of the island, Albreht fon Hagen.

Grammar
Şneldorfian Kalmish went through three major changes in grammar. First is removal of grammatical genders with preservation of definite and undefinite articles and case system. Also unlike in standard Kalmish the article can be omitted, especially in speech, with the suffix added to the word. Additionally in common speech fifth case, locative, appears in place of more typical Kalmish complex construction using the mit preposition. The article table with an example can be seen below:
| Case | Singular | Plural | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Definite article | Undefinite article | Short form | Definite article | Short form | |
| Nominatif | di Sultan | ayn Sultan | Sultan | di Sultan | Sultani |
| Genitif | des Sultans | aynes Sultans | Sultans | der Sultane | Sultanere |
| Datif | dem Sultan | aynem Sultan | Sultanem | den Sultanen | Sultanen |
| Akkusatif | das Sultan | aynen Sultan | Sultanas | di Sultane | Sultane |
| Instrumentalis | mit dem Sultan | mit aynem Sultan | Sultanit | mit den Sultanen | Sultanenit |
Additionally in some cases where the meaning if the sentence is clear, the verb to be/sein can be omitted.
