Talk:Districts of Turkmenistan

Question
Nice map! By any chance do you have one where these raions are labelled? I'm doing a world demographic database and I'm on Central Asia.


 * That's the hard part. I don't speak Turkmen, and my resources don't have labels. I will try to work with Statoids, as he has a list of the raions there (and can match up with capital city location). I'll keep you informed. Right now I am finishing up 2nd-level for Japan.

Update of Districts
The following list of boroughs for Ashgabat is obsolete and has been updated in the main article; I am copying it here for ease of retrieval by researchers:
 * Abadan District (formerly Buzmein, Abadan city)
 * Archabil District (formed from Archabil, Chandybil and part of Abadan districts)
 * Berkararlyk District (formerly Azatlyk, Sovetskiy District)
 * Bagtyyarlyk District (formerly President Niyazov, Lenin District)
 * Chandybil District
 * Kopetdag District (formerly Proletarskiy District)
 * Ruhabad District (formerly part of Ruhabad District, Ahal Province)

The following list of districts for Balkan Province is obsolete and has been updated in the main article:
 * Bereket District (formerly Gazanjyk District)
 * Esenguly District
 * Etrek District (formerly Gyzyletrek District)
 * Magtymguly District (formerly Garrygala District)
 * Serdar District (formerly Gyzylarbat District)
 * Türkmenbaşy District

The following Ahal Province district has been abolished, and the Ahal list of districts updated:
 * Derweze District (formerly part of Ruhabad District)

Note also that several old names have been restored. In Ahal, Büzmeýin and Bäherden are back; in Lebap, Kerki is back, and so on. Please refer to the inline references before trying to restore names that were used for a few years but have now been deprecated.

Dashoguz and Mary were up to date but I brought them into format conformity with the rest of the list. Amustard (talk) 20:23, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
