The Mulak Empire, also known as the Mulakan Empire or the Mulāk Empire, and at the time known as the Empire of Two Abodes. The administrative, political and military center of the empire was in the city of Cúbūmā, written also as Khubwihmah. The Mulak civilization arose from the Rhavanese central mountains sometime in 331 AD. The Mulak Empire collapsed in 558 AD.
From 331-558, the Mulakans incorporated a large portion of Indonadisi, centered on the Khamdong Plateau. At its largest, the kingdom contained parts of Rhava, Kharai, and Ngoc Luat. Its official language was Rha, while it also used an early form of Kham Rha.[1] Notable features of the Mulak Empire included its monumental architecture, unique to the ethnic Kham Rha people, to succeed in the central-rhavanese enviroment, Rhavanese Beang Khāmkhe bracelets, associated with Sichaeng Baci, and the elaborate caste system.
Etymology
The Mulak called their empire Thaichhāti, which means two chhati in standard Rha, two being Thai and Chhāti meaning province or abode.
However it probably would of been spelt Thlaichhāti because of the location of the empire in the Khamdong Plateau, and the Kham Rha dialect's word for two; Thlai.
In Khnem Rha it would be spelt Thnaichhāti because two in Khnem Rha is Thnai.
The name Thlaichhāti would've been used to symbolize a united church and state showing heaven and Earth, or maybe the two different terrains in the empire with the lowlands and highlands.
Mulāk (mulaːk / mulaːp) means king in Rha, so another name for Thaichhāti would be the King's Empire.
