Tawalisi

Tawalisi (Arabic: طواليسي) is a Southeast Asian kingdom described in the journals of Ibn Battuta.

Guesses to the location of Tawalisi have included Java, Pangasinan, Luzon, Sulu, Celebes (Sulawesi), Cambodia, Cochin-China, and practically every island in South Asia beginning with ta. In the Philippines, Pangasinan was considered to be the most-likely location of Tawalisi, but this has since been disputed.

In contemporary historiography, Tawalisi is widely regarded as a non-existent kingdom. It is strongly inclined to be evaluated as a fictitious locale with a low probability of actual existence, largely due to a dearth of empirical evidence.
