The continent has several widely used names. The most commonly used, "''Alshar''", descends from the Arabic word الشرق (lit. "''east''", "alshrq").

===History=== | |||
The continent is known as Ularie/Ularia in the [[Burgundian language]], loosely meaning "the domain". This from the {{wpl|Mongolian language|Bagaganuurese}} word "Ulus" for "tribal domain/empire" referencing the plains of northern Punth that was a part of their empire in the [[Timeline_of_major_events_in_Ixnay#Medieval_history|medieval era]]. While the [[Burgundian West Punth Trading Company|BWATC]]'s control of the whole of Alshar was short, functionally only from 1750-1810, the impact was lasting. Many countries in Alshar speak [[Burgundian Language|Burgundian]] as a second language and this has facilitated easy trade between the nations and a sense of regional shared experience. The [[Burgundian West Punth Trading Company|BWATC]] also built a vast system of roads, particularly along the western coast the further facilitated the consolidation of later nation states. | The continent is known as Ularie/Ularia in the [[Burgundian language]], loosely meaning "the domain".
