Chewog
Chiwogs of Bhutan (; Wylie transliteration, Wylie: ''spyi 'og'') refer to the 1044 basic electoral precincts of Bhutan. Chiwogs are also former third-level administrative divisions of Bhutan below Gewogs of Bhutan, ''gewog''s. Until 2009, they were the equivalent of municipalities or parishes, containing list of villages in Bhutan, clusters of villages and hamlets. There are generally 5 or 6 chiwogs in each gewog, and in turn several gewogs in each ''dzongkha'' (Districts of Bhutan, district). To illustrate, there are 50 chiwogs in Paro District alone. The majority of chiwogs are small rural communities; more densely populated areas tend to be separate thromdes, or municipalities.

Gewogs Of Bhutan

Dzongkhag Thromde class A municipalities have their own independent local government body. Bhutan comprises 205 gewogs, which average in area. The gewogs in turn are divided into chewogs for elections and thromdes "municipalities" for administration.

Wylie Transliteration
Wylie transliteration is a method for Transliteration, transliterating Tibetan script using only the letters available on a typical English-language typewriter. The system is named for the American scholar Turrell V. Wylie, who created the system and published it in a 1959 ''Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies'' article. It has subsequently become a standard transliteration scheme in Tibetan studies, especially in the United States. Any Tibetic languages, Tibetan language romanization scheme faces the dilemma of whether it should seek to accurately reproduce the sounds of spoken Tibetan or the spelling of written Tibetan. These differ widely, as Tibetan orthography became fixed in the 11th century, while pronunciation continued to language change, evolve, comparable to the English orthography and French orthography, which reflect late medieval pronunciation. Previous transcription schemes sought to split the difference with the result that they achieved neither goal perfectly. Wyl ...
