Due to various episodes of persecution, the Assyrian diaspora is now larger than the population of Assyrians who still remain in their homeland. The official number of Assyrians worldwide is difficult to determine, but it is believed that there are anywhere from 3-6 million in the world today.
This is a list of Assyrian populations by country according to official and estimated numbers. Due to a lack of official data in many countries, estimates may vary.
