Tabulu, officially the {{wp|Commonwealth}} {{wp|Republic}} of the Tabulu Islands, is a [[Tabuhanouia|Tabuhanouian]] {{wp|island country}} consisting of 4 main islands ([[Ka'vaou]], [[Matakaia]], [[Ka'fua]], and [[Ta'lohuaia]]), 10 smaller inhabited islands, and over 100 small, uninhabited islands.<ref>Tabulu claims 30 miles of sea territory as opposed to the 15 miles typically sanctioned.

=Etymology=
=Etymology=
The name Tabulu stems from the Tabuluan words ''Tabiaa'' and ''lou''. Tabiaa itself is a {{wp|portmanteau}}, of ''Tab'' and ''Ouia'', "land" and "cean" respectively, however taken in combination to mean island. Lou is a word that is used to refer to the fruits of the islands, such as {{wp|bananas}}, {{wp|coconuts}} and {{wp|mangoes}}. A more literal translation is "sweetened dirt" which is likely in reference to the sweetness tasted in fruits.<ref> This is contested by [[Classical Tabuluan]] translators, modern Tabuluan is heavily influenced by Torvonese. Classical Tabuluan suggests that lou means ''sand''. See [[Classical Tabuluan]].</ref>
Tabulu's earliest naming can be traced back to the [[Tabuluan_Language|Tabuluan]] words for island and moon. "Ta'abu" is the Tabuluan word for island (lit. Ocean Land). "Liu" is the Tabuluan word for crescent, however has been appropriated to mean moon. The Torvonese spelling of Tabulu is "Tabjulu." While Tabulu is the recognized title of the region, many natives of the islands call Tabulu "Fu'lokatu" which translates to homeland. Further, in spite of Tabulu being the official name, Common speakers will often use the word "Tabula" instead of Tabulu, primarily due to naming conventions from the 19th century.

The first recorded peoples on Tabulu were the [[Tabouialan]] people, as indicated by both human remains and cave paintings. The Tabouialans sailed, as indicated in paintings, from Western [[Thaudia]] into the 4 modern Tabuluan islands.[[File:TabuluanCavePainting.jpg|thumb|left|Cave painting made by Early Tabouialans, roughly 1,800 BCE. It depicts a dance with some form of primitive {{wp|maracas}}.]] These people are assumed to have made basic straw houses built on wooden foundations, although the majority of wood was used for boats.

"Liu" is the Tabuluan word for crescent, however has been appropriated to mean moon. The Torvonese spelling of Tabulu is "Tabjulu." While Tabulu is the recognized title of the region, many natives of the islands call Tabulu "Fu'lokatu" which translates to homeland. Further, in spite of Tabulu being the official name, Common speakers will often use the word "Tabula" instead of Tabulu, primarily due to naming conventions from the 19th century.
