The Mahra Sultanate of Qishn and Socotra ((アラビア語:سلطنة المهرة في قشن وسقطرة) ') or sometimes the Mahra Sultanate of Ghayda and Socotra ((アラビア語:سلطنة المهرة في الغيضاء وسقطرة) ') was a sultanate that included both the historical region of Mahra and the Indian Ocean island of Socotra in what is now eastern Yemen. It was ruled by the Banu Afrar ((アラビア語:بنو عفرار) ''(unicode:Banū ‘Afrār)'', also known as ) dynasty and is sometimes called Mahra State in English. During 1886, the sultanate became a British protectorate and later became a part of the Aden Protectorate. The Sultanate was abolished in 1967 upon the founding of the People's Republic of South Yemen and is now part of the Republic of Yemen.〔Paul Dresch. ''A History of Modern Yemen.'' Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2000〕 In addition to Arabic, Mehri, a Modern South Arabian language is spoken in Mahra. Mahra shares with the neighbouring Dhofar in Oman cultural traits such as the modern South Arabian language spoken and the importance of frankincense. These regions also share geographic and climatic ties, which distinguish them from the surrounding desert terrain, mostly due to the beneficial action of the khareef monsoon. ==History== Between 1507 and 1511 Socotra Island was occupied by the Portuguese Empire. The Portuguese governors were Afonso de Noronha (1507 - 1509)〔Monteiro, Alexandre. ''Uma página dos Descobrimentos: a ilha de Socotorá no século XVI''. in National Geographic Portugal, June 2012, p. 42-45.〕 and Pêro Ferreira Fogaça (1509 - 1511). The Mahri Sultanate of Qishn and Suqutra (Quisn and Socotra) was established in 1549. In 1886 Mahra became a British protectorate. The capitals of the Mahra Sultanate were Qishn in Mahra and from 1886 Tamrida (Hadibu) on Socotra. In the 1960s, Mahra declined to join the Federation of South Arabia but remained under British protection as part of the Protectorate of South Arabia. On 16 Oct 1967 the Sultanate was abolished and Mahra and Socotra (from Nov.30 1967)became part of newly independent South Yemen which united with North Yemen in 1990 to become the Republic of Yemen. The last sultan of Mahra was Issa Bin Ali Bin Salim Banu Afrar. Today the Mahra area (without Socotra) is the Al Mahrah Governorate of Yemen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahra Sultanate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
