The name Druk does not seem to be used in English to refer to this country. Since this is an English language site we should use the English Language name. Before recommending what the name should be, some research will be needed as to the exact correct title but it seems to me that Druk is a local language name not English.

I agree, although I thought this was supposed to be an article about the Dzongkha word Druk, rather than about the country. Also, to the extent of my limited knowledge, the statement, "Bhutan is also called Druk in the Bhutanese language, Dzongkha" is not quite correct. Druk means dragon; "Bhutan" is Druk yul, "the land of the dragon". Possibly Druk also doubles as an adjective for "Bhutanese" (I'm not sure)?—Nat Krause 18:23, 2 May 2007 (CDT)
