Ü (Tibetan: དབུས་,Wylie: dbus,ZYPY: Wü
; pronounced w-yu, similar to English word "we") is a geographic division and a historical region in Tibet. Together with Tsang (Tib. གཙང་, gtsang), it forms Central Tibet Ü-Tsang (Tib. དབུས་གཙང་, Wyl. dbus gtsang), which is one of the three Tibetan regions or cholka (cholka-sum). The other two cholka are Kham (Tib. ཁམས་, Wyl. khams) (Dotod) and Amdo (Tib. ཨ༌མདོ;Wyl. a mdo) (Domed). According to a Tibetan saying, "the best religion comes from Ü-Tsang, the best men from Kham, and the best horses from Amdo".
Constituent districts
Taken together, Ü and Tsang are considered to be the center of Tibetan civilization, from historical, cultural, political and economic perspectives. They are centered on the valley of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, which flows eastward at about 3,600 metres (11,800ft) above sea level. Of this territory, Ü constitutes the eastern portion, up to Sokla Kyao in the east where it borders to Kham. It includes the Lhasa River valley system, where Lhasa is situated, and the Yarlung and Chonggye valleys to the south of the Tsangpo.
The province of Quebec, Canada, is officially divided into 17 administrative regions. Traditionally (and unofficially), it is divided into around twenty regions. As of the 2011 Canadian Census, the population of Quebec was 7,903,001, the land area was 1,356,547.02km2 and the population density was 5.8 inhabitants per square kilometre.
Administrative
Administrative regions are used to organize the delivery of provincial government services. They are also the basis of organization for regional conferences of elected officers (French:conférences régionales des élus, CRÉ), with the exception of the Montérégie and Nord-du-Québec regions, which each have three CRÉs or equivalent bodies. (In the Nord-du-Québec region, the Kativik Regional Government and Cree Regional Authority, in addition to their other functions, play the role of a CRÉ).
List
The subregions of Montérégie and Nord-du-Québec have their own regional conference of elected officers (CRÉ). Municipalities with 20,000-plus populations in the 2011 Census are listed, with those 50,000 or over bolded. In addition, the seat of the relevant CRÉ is indicated, as well as other major cities and towns. If the population of a CRÉ is less than 20,000, it is shown in italics.
Dir ceased to exist as a state in 1969, when it was incorporated into Pakistan. The territory it once covered, some 5,282km2 (2,039sqmi), is today within the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, forming two districts called Upper Dir and Lower Dir.
Geography
Most of the state lay in the valley of the Panjkora river, which originates in the Hindu Kush mountains and joins the Swat River near Chakdara. Apart from small areas in the south-west, Dir is a rugged, mountainous zone with peaks rising to 5,000 metres (16,000ft) in the north-east and to 3,000 metres (9,800ft) along the watersheds, with Swat to the east and Afghanistan and Chitral to the west and north.
History
Dir took its name from its main settlement, also called Dir, location of the ruler's palace. The princely state was established by Akhund Baba, the leader of a Pakhtun clan, and ruled afterwards by his descendants.
The main sub-clans of the Dir are the Issa of Djibouti and Ethiopia, as well as the Gadabuursi, Akisho (Akishe), Biamal (Biyomaal), Surre and Gurgura. Although often recognized as a Dir sub-clan, the Isaaq clan claims paternal descent from one Shaykh Ishaq ibn Ahmad al-Hashimi (Sheikh Isaaq).
History
I.M. Lewis maintains that "strictly speaking… the Dir… together with the Hawiye are linked as 'Irir [Samaale]' at a higher level of genealogical grouping.". Together with the Hawiye they trace ancestry through Irir Samaale to Arabian origins with Aqiil Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib.
Dir is reputed to be the uncle of Esa Madoba, the patriarch of the Issa Dir sub-clan, as well as the brother of Hawiya Irrir, who founded the Hawiye clan. In addition, Dir is regarded as the father-in-law of Darod, the progenitor of the Darod clan. Other accounts indicate that Dir is the father of Esa Madoba.
Es wogt in grauen Fluten Der aufgewühlte Fluß durchs Land Spiegelt nichts als das Chaos eines Himmels Der in dunklen Stumrwolken verschwand Nebelfetzen bergen Fratzen Deren Grinsen voller Hohn Kaum erkennbar speit der junge Abendhimmel Aus den trüben Eitermond Der Regen Peitscht hart in mein Gesicht Wie die Tränen der Gefallenen Nun spüle hinfort die Qual... Es wogt in dichten Schleiern Bald von Wind zerrissen, bald von Regen zerfetzt Der Dunst der ekelhaften Fratzen Vom Wahn getrieben und mit Furcht durchsetzt Dornenwerk greift roh nach meinen Beinen Aus nassem Gras und kaltem Schlamm Ich schleppe mich zerschunden Am Totenfluss meiner selbst entlang Ein Paradies hatte ich verloren In den Träumen meiner sterbenden Braut Und alles was man mir genommen Sprach mit der Stimme der Verwesung Zu mir aus den Ruinen Es wogt in sanften Wellen Das gras verlockend weich Der Regen zwingt mich blutig in die Knie Mich ruft das Erdenreich Nichts ist mehr von dem geblieben Was ich in meinem Herzen barg Als die Wunden toter Welten Wo der Hass im Geiste stak Der Regen Peitscht hart in mein Gesicht Wie die Tränen der Gefallenen Nun spüle hinfort die Qual... ...und in den Dornensträuchern Aufgespießte Regentropfen Glitzern voller Gier Wie Augen von Ghoulen Die mir hungrig und wartend entgegen starren
