When the government initiated resettlement efforts in the early 2000s, 40 individuals chose to relocate to Namgaychhoeling Chiwog in Namgaychhoeling Gewog. These settlers came from various regions and backgrounds, creating a linguistically diverse community where residents speak Ngalop, Tshanglakha, Khengkha, and Lhotshamkha. Initially, language barriers left some individuals feeling isolated for two to three years, with some avoiding official meetings and communications due to these challenges. Over time, however, many residents adapted by mastering two to three languages providing them a sense of relief and integration into their new environment.
