The main language spoken is Azeri. The name of the city, however, is like most other towns in East Azerbaijan, of the Azeri Turkish origin, means "1000 houses". The meaning "water base" can be considered true because back when the lake Urmia had not lost more than half of its water, digging ground for 5 meters gained your access to water in Bonab. but it's not an original meaning.
