'''Makabakam'''
== Geography ==
It split into many kingdoms which share the Makabaki ethnicity, including [[Alm]], [[Azir]], [[Desh]], [[Emul]], [[Greater Hexi]], [[Liafor]], [[Marat]], [[Steen]], [[Tashikk]], [[Tu Fallia]], [[Tukar]], [[Yezier]], and about half of [[Triax]].{{map ref|Roshar}} There are approximately thirty Makabaki languages--Azish chief among them.{{reddit ref|Stormlight_Archive|5ffl09|dake974|text=Rosharan language families|date=2016-11-29}}▼
Makabakam took up most of the south-western part of the [[Roshar]]an continent. It shared most of its long northern border with [[Sela Tales]], while in the west, it bordered [[Shin Kak Nish]] (modern [[Shinovar]]) on the [[Misted Mountains]] and to the east, it had a short border with [[Valhav]]. To the south, the country lay on the coast of the [[Aimian Sea]] and [[Southern Depths]], and controlled a number of islands dividing those two.{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}
The city of [[Urithiru]], the home of the [[Knights Radiant]], was located within Makabakam borders, but it is unlikely it was actually subject to Makabaki rule.{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}{{map ref|Roshar}} The ancient capital of Makabakam was likely the city currently known as [[Azimir]], as it is there that the state's [[Oathgate]] is located.{{book ref|sa3|8}}
