anglicized pronunciation /ˈʃɛləˌkʌmbiə/. Shelekhumbia encompasses the lands of the Bay of Shelekhumbia and the lands along the Leh-Shelekhumbis River. The term is historic and cultural, not political. The modern government of these lands is the Sultanate of Beph-Themesh.

Shelekhumbia rests in northern Weshif around the Leh-Shelekhumbis River.

Shelekhumbia is a semi-arid to arid region traversed by the waters of the Leh-Shelekhumbis River. It was inhabited in ancient times by the Shelekhumbi people. Later, Thammazite Tribes migrated from southern Weshif into the land.
