I'm not asking to be snarky - I've only been to Bhutan once and know no Dzongkha (yet).
This is very cool - I remember people being much more interested in Microsoft than Linux last Summer and a lot of it had to do with the support for Dzongkha fonts and integration into the OS.

Karunakar, who is the project lead for IndLinux.org (www.indlinux.org)
had gone to Bhutan and spent a couple of months there to help them
localize Linux and other open source software to the Dzhongka
language. If I remember right, he has also been to Nepal and Iran to
share his expertise in localization.
