Yes. They are similar, but they are not the same. A Sultanate is the Arabic equivalent to a kingdom (with the small caveat that the Sultan does not necessarily claim religious legitimacy, otherwise he would use the term Molk and the you would have a Mamlaka or Kingdom). An Emirate is the Arabic equivalent to a principality.
