• Synonym集落しゅうらくNeutralNeutral geographic and administrative term for a settlement; the standard choice, since 「部落」 can evoke the burakumin discrimination issue in Japan.
• Synonym村落そんらくWrittenWritten, neutral geographic term for a village; more at home in formal prose than in everyday speech.
• Synonym村むらNeutralThe everyday word for a village, including as an administrative unit; by far the most common term in daily use.
• SynonymビレッジNeutralLoanword for a village, used mostly in facility names and brand names rather than in ordinary speech.
• Synonym村里むらざとWrittenWritten word for the countryside or a village, carrying a rustic, lyrical flavor.
• Related人里ひとざとNeutralLand where people live, as opposed to remote mountains; familiar from phrases like 「人里離れた」.
• Related町まちNeutralA town or district, larger in scale than a village.
• Related都邑とゆうWrittenWritten, archaic-sounding term covering cities and villages alike; rarely used.

Be careful with 「部落」: in Japan it is often linked to the burakumin discrimination issue, so for settlements in general 「集落」 is usually preferred. Say 「村」 for a village in daily speech, 「人里」 for inhabited land, and 「町」 for a town.
