History
Ddwbha was established by the Yophentheans who called the city Dhwebhustancha. By folk etymology, it is incorrectly associated in the minds of Gonfalese speakers with Ddwb, the Medibgösk god of the west wind.

The Ddwbha Dialect shares some similarities with the Ithantfas Dialect, but is still recognizably different. Ddwbha is known for its distinctive accent of Gonfalese.
