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

At the 2006 census, the county's population was 530,961 in 142,781 households.[4] The following census in 2011 counted 566,773 people in 169,078 households.[5] At the 2016 census, the county's population was 596,932 in 188,460 households.[2]

Persians, Azeris and Tats are the largest ethnic groups of people.[6][7] According to some sources, the majority of people in northern Qazvin (Alamut) are Tats who speak a dialect of the Tati language.[8][9][10][11][12][13] However, other sources claim that the majority of people in Alamut are Mazanderani[14] or Gilaks who speak a dialect of the Mazanderani language or Gilaki language.[15][16]

According to some linguists, the term ‘Tati’ was used by Turkic speakers to refer to non-turkic speakers.[17][18][19] 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[20] or Gilak speakers who have been labeled as Tats as historically they were considered Mazanderani or Gilaks.[21][22][16]
