District in Qazvin province, Iran From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rudbar-e Alamut-e Gharbi District (Persian: بخش رودبار الموت غربی)[lower-alpha 1] is in Qazvin County, Qazvin province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Razmian.[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]
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the district's population was 16,255 in 4,667 households.[19] The following census in 2011 counted 15,056 people in 4,953 households.[20] The 2016 census measured the population of the district as 20,896 inhabitants in 7,272 households.[2]
