Demographics

[edit]

Languages and ethnic groups

[edit]

Persians,AzerisandTatsare the largest ethnic groups of people.[4][5]According to some sources, the majority of people in northern Qazvin (Alamut) areTatswho speak a dialect of theTati language.[6][7][8][9][10][11]However, other sources claim that the majority of people in Alamut areMazanderani[12]orGilakswho speak a dialect of theMazanderani languageorGilaki language.[13][14]

According to some linguists, the term ‘Tati’ was used by Turkic speakers to refer to non-turkic speakers.[15][16][17]This could explain why some sources claim the people of Alamut are Tats, while others claim they are Mazanderanies or Gilaks. Likely, the ‘Tats’ of Alamut areMazanderani[18]orGilak speakerswho have been labeled as Tats as historically they were considered Mazanderani or Gilaks.[19][20][14]
