Taqur is the official name for Tasmania used in Conlang Conworld. Like Akizreth, its etymology is uncertain but believed to lie in an extinct language spoken in Northern Akizreth (the only evidence of it, however, are a number of place names scattered throught the region). The Northern section of the west coast consists largely of penal colonies established by various Ptelic groups.

Etymology
The etymology of the name is not certain. However, it believed to be related to Mattish tako 'taco'. The name refers to a traditional Taqurese dish, made by wrapping vegetables and meat in a pita bread. It is typically served with sweet dipping sauce made from melon juice.
