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).
The numbering of the districts follows the map.
