Qazvin County (Persian: شهرستان قزوین) is in Qazvin province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Qazvin.[3]

Demographics

[edit]

Languages and ethnic groups

[edit]

Persians, Azeris and Tats are the largest ethnic groups of people.[4][5] According to some sources, the majority of people in northern Qazvin (Alamut) are Tats who speak a dialect of the Tati language.[6][7][8][9][10][11] However, other sources claim that the majority of people in Alamut are Mazanderani[12] or Gilaks who speak a dialect of the Mazanderani language or Gilaki 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 are Mazanderani[18] or Gilak speakers who have been labeled as Tats as historically they were considered Mazanderani or Gilaks.[19][20][14]

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the county's population was 530,961 in 142,781 households.[21] The following census in 2011 counted 566,773 people in 169,078 households.[22] The 2016 census measured the population of the county as 596,932 in 188,460 households.[2]
