		The three main ethnic groups live geographically separated with the dominant political group; the Ngalop in the west, the Sharchops in the east and the southern Bhutanese of Nepali origin (also known as Lhotshampas) in the south.
		Together, the Ngalop, Sharchop, and tribal groups were thought to constitute up to 72 percent of the population in the late 1980s.
		The second ethnic group is called Sharchop, who inhabit in eastern and central region and practice Nyingmapa sect of Mahayana Buddhism and belong to Tibeto-Burman ancestry.

	NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND POLITICS OF BHUTAN
		A Sharchop Agriculture Secretary was appointed to the post of Speaker in June, 1997.The appointment of a Sharchop to this post is seen as RGOB's strategy to play down Mr Dorji's popularity.
		The deliberations in the National Assembly visibly demonstrated the restlessness uncertainty and insecurity prevailing the regime after the united democratic movement was launched under the leadership of Mr.
		In a move to lure the support of the Sharchop community (who already support of democratic movement) the regime is trying to create an ethnic-divide between the Sharchop and Kheng communities by declaring in the Assembly that Mr.

	Bhutan - Ethnic Groups
		The Sharchop (the word means easterner), an Indo-Mongoloid people who are thought to have migrated from Assam or possibly Burma during the past millennium, comprise most of the population of eastern Bhutan.
		The ex-slave communities tended to be near traditional population centers because it was there that they had been pressed into service to the state.
		Although Bhutan traditionally welcomed refugees--and still accepted a few new ones fleeing the 1989 imposition of martial law in Tibet--government policy in the late 1980s was to refuse more Tibetan refugees.

		The area of Sharchop Khorlo Tsip Gey, meaning the "eight provinces of the east" included the territory east of the Pelela pass, and the different communities who inhabited this region are were all Sharchopas.
		It is corroborated by the fact that Indian journalists are being invited to Thimphu and the RGOB is engaged in the exercise of appeasing ULFA, through the Indian media.
		Ethnic Sharchop dissidents were registered in camps in 2003 and these people were the last unregistered people outside the camps.

	Language of Bhutan: Jachung Travel
		All government documents and road signs are written in both English and Dzongkha, and the national newspaper, Kuensel, is published in three languages: Dzongkha, English, and Nepali.
		In southern Bhutan most people speak Nepali, in eastern Bhutan most people speak Sharchop, and there are many dialects spoken throughout the country due to the isolation of the villages.
		Because Dzongkha is not written with Roman characters, and because there are many sounds in Dzongkha that do not have an English equivalent, it is difficult to write the exact pronunciation translations in English.

	Dzongkha language Summary
		The official language is Dzongkha, "language of the monastery," based on the language spoken in the northwestern valleys.
		Other Bhutanese languages are Sharchop or Tsangla spoken in the east, Bumthangkha and Mangdep spoken in the center, and Khenkha, a southern language.
		While the northern, western, and central languages are related to the Tibetan family, Sharchop is affiliated with the Tsangla languages, also spoken in the Tawang district of India's Arunachal Pradesh state.

		Much the same could be said of the Sharchops ("Easterners"), who are associated with the eastern part of Bhutan (but who traditionally follow the Nyingma rather than the official Drukpa Kagyu form of Tibetan Buddhism).
		The traditional dress for Ngalong and Sharchop men is the gho, a knee-length robe tied at the waist by a cloth belt known as the kera.
		Women wear an ankle-length dress, the kira, which is clipped at one shoulder and tied at the waist.

	The uprooted of Bhutan
		These are the Ngalong (Western Bhutanese), who, despite being in overall minority, constitute the ruling elite and, with the central Bhutanese, dominate Bhutanese politics; the Sharchop (Eastern Bhutanese); and the Lhotshampa (Southern Bhutanese).
		Estimates of the population of these three categories vary widely: Ngalong (10 to 28 per cent), Sharchop (30 to 44 Per cent) and Lhotshampa (25 to 53 per cent).
		The people in the west (the Ngalongs) and the east (the Sharchop) and the Central Bhutanese practise a Tibetan style of Mahayana Buddhism and speak the Tibetan-derived Dzongkha; the southerners (the Lhotshampa) are mostly Hindus, the vast majority of them speaking the Nepali language.

		TA comment of the study report read, "90 percent of the language that I use during work/school hours is English embedded with Dzongkha and Sharchop".

	CRACKDOWN IN BHUTAN
		The economy certainly benefited though, from the very beginning, there were also tensions, exacerbated by the fact that the Lhotshampa (Bhutanese of Nepali origin) had their own problems with the other more dominant Drukpa, broadly comprising two other major national groups, the Ngalong in the west and the Sharchop in the east.
		The origins of these tensions go back further, to the 1980 Marriage Act, the 1985 Citizenship Act and other pieces of legislation, which the southern Bhutanese felt are discriminated in matters relating to marriage, citizenship and language and, rather more visibly, dress.
		One of the most interesting points made in the statement announcing the birth of the BCP(MLM) relates to its reading of Bhutan's population mix, every section of which is oppressed by the feudal monarchy.

	SAHRDC In The News
		The situation there, with the presence of the Indian insurgent groups, the unrest amongst the Lhotsampas of south Bhutan and the Sharchop community of eastern Bhutan and the presence of a large number of small arms in the region has been described by the South Asian Human Rights Documentation Centre as a powder keg.
		While welcoming the fact that the U human rights machinery was starting to address the problem, the SAHRDC said the policies of the UHCR were discriminatory and divisive and had shown a preference for the Buddhist refugees.
		A number of Sharchops, it was stated, were taking refuge in Arunachal Pradesh as a result of the crackdown.

		The Ngalong, Sharchop, and Bumthaps, together with the smaller linguistic groups and nomads of Laya, Lingzhi, and Merak Sakteng, share a common religion and have been treated as part of one nation since the 17th century.
		The Druk National Congress (DNC) sought in the early 1990s to gain support in the east of Bhutan by arguing that the Sharchop (eastern Bhutanese) were being marginalized by the central government and that the DNC would be better placed to provide for the Sharchop.
		In contemporary Bhutan, Sharchop are not marginalized, and indeed they are active at all levels of government, the judiciary, and private enterprise.

		The Sharchop people, or Eastern Bhotia, as some are called, are a large ethnic group in Bhutan.
		One of the reasons it is hard to reach them with the gospel is that they have no written language.
		Pray that the Epic Project will show the Sharchop people that Jesus has already atoned for their sins.
