The Borosan Great Lakes (Vaamekian: [undefined] error: {{lang}}: no text (help) Leesyu Tyau leâséu téau) are an interconnected series of four major and several minor lakes in west-central Upper Boroso.
The names of the major lakes in Vaamekian are (from largest to smallest):
- Lake Qëërles (Vaamekian: [undefined] error: {{lang}}: no text (help) Qëërles qëârles)
- Lake Ovyles (Vaamekian: [undefined] error: {{lang}}: no text (help) Ovyles ovéles)
- Lake Poksles (Vaamekian: [undefined] error: {{lang}}: no text (help) Poksles poksles)
- Lake Psweles (Vaamekian: [undefined] error: {{lang}}: no text (help) Psweles psãeles)
The eastern shore of Lake Qëërles is thought to be the homeland of the Barmeki people.

Though the four lakes reside in separate basins, they form a single, naturally interconnected body of fresh water, within the Qeerlic Basin.

Climate
Great Lakes Region
Lake Qëërles is bordered by Vaamek, Lhavres and Vrkazh. Lakes Psweles and Ovyles are bordered by Vaamek and Vrkazh. Poksles is entirely within Vaamek.
History
Economy
Fishing—primarily of tilapia species but also of Thewer perch—is a common activity on the lakes. With three Great Lakes on its borders and one completely within it, Vaamek ranks as one of the Sahar's largest producers of freshwater fish.
Shipping is also important. As a landlocked country, Vaamek ships muck of its goods across Lake Qëërles to Lhavres, or up the Thewer River.
Fauna
The Qeerlic whale, a subspecies of pygmy killer whale adapted to a freshwater environment is one of the more unusual animals found in the Great Lakes.
