Qazvin County (Persian: شهرستان قزوین) is a county in Qazvin Province in Iran. Its capital is Qazvin. At the 2006 census, its population was 99,841, in 24,971 families.[1] It consists of five districts: Central, Tarom Sofla, Alamut-e Gharbi, Alamut-e Sharghi, and Kuhin. It has seven cities: Qazvin, Eqbaliyeh, Mahmudabad Nemuneh, Moallem Kalayeh, Razmian, Kuhin, and Sirdan. Persians, Azeris and Tats are the largest ethnic groups of people.[2][3] According to some sources, the majority of people in northern Qazvin (Alamut) are Tats who speak a dialect of the Tati language.[4][5][6][7][8][9] However, other sources claim that the majority of people in Alamut are Mazanderani[10] or Gilaks who speak a dialect of the Mazanderani language or Gilaki language.[11][12] According to some linguists, the term ‘Tati’ was used by Turkic speakers to refer to non-turkic speakers.[13][14][15] 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[16] or Gilak speakers who have been labeled as Tats as historically they were considered Mazanderani or Gilaks.[17][18][12]
