According to some sources, the people in northern Qazvin (Alamut) speak a dialect of the Tati language.[5][6][7][8][9][10] However, other sources state that the people of Alamut are Mazanderani[11][12] or Gilaks who speak a dialect of the Mazandarani or Gilaki language.[13][14] According to some linguists, the term ‘Tati’ was used by Turkic speakers to refer to non-turkic speakers.[15][16][17] This could explain why some sources refer to the Alamut dialects as Tatoid, while others claim they are Mazandarani or Gilaki. Likely, the ‘Tatoid dialect’ of Alamut is a dialect of Mazanderani[18] or Gilaki, which was labeled as Tati as historically the dialect was considered Mazanderani or Gilaki.[19]
