Chak is an Urdu word, which means village. In the Punjab province of Pakistan, numbers are used instead of names. The villages are named using a certain nomenclature that dates back to British rule; all names are prefixed "Chak" followed by a number and a letter. The number is the name of the village and the letter relates to their source of water. . == Sadiqabad == For example in Sadiqabad the chaks use water from a canal for agriculture. These chaks are suffixed either with P or NP, where the P stands for the Panjnad River from which they draw water. Some chaks that have developed a name other than their number, which may reference the name of a town leader. They may be referred to as "Chak ''(number) (letters) (name)''". For instance: Chak 130 P, Chak 151 P, Chak 152 P, Chak 164 NP, Chak 173 P. In other parts of Punjab, chaks lie along other waterways: * Chak 21 MB * Chak 106 JB, Khichian (Jhang Branch canal) * Chak 128 NB (North Branch canal) * Chak 445 GB, Thaggan Wali (Gogera Branch canal) * Chak 133/10-R (a village in tehsil Jahanian in district Khanewal) In Sanghar District, chaks are just numbered without suffix: * Chak No. 22 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chak (village)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
