Districts of Tajikistan
The provinces of Tajikistan are subdivided into 58 districts (Tajik: ноҳия, nohiya or Russian: район, rayon), not including 4 districts belonging to the capital city Dushanbe, together with 17 cities of provincial subordination (including Dushanbe, an extraprovincial capital city).[1][2][3] The districts (or nohiyas) are further subdivided into rural municipalities called jamoats, which in turn are further subdivided into villages (or deha or qyshqol).
