Alamut-e Gharbi District (Persian: بخش الموت غربی) is in Qazvin County, Qazvin province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Razmian.[2]

Demographics

Language and ethnicity

According to some sources, the majority of people in northern Qazvin (Alamut) are Tats who speak a dialect of the Tati language.[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] However, other sources claim that the majority of people in Alamut are Mazanderani[9] or Gilaks who speak a dialect of the Mazanderani language or Gilaki language.[10] [11]

According to some linguists, the term ‘Tati’ was used by Turkic speakers to refer to non-turkic speakers.[12] [13] [14] 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[15] or Gilak speakers who have been labeled as Tats as historically they were considered Mazanderani or Gilaks.[16] [17] [11]

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the district's population was 16,255 in 4,667 households.[18] The following census in 2011 counted 15,056 people in 4,953 households.[19] The 2016 census measured the population of the district as 20,896 inhabitants in 7,272 households.[20]
