Speakers
33.7M
Iran 63% · Azerbaijan 31% · Türkiye 3%
First and second language speakers, summed across the 4 territories CLDR records. The bar splits them by territory.
Online speakers
29.3M
0%100%
87% of speakers, once each territory's speaker count is scaled by its World Bank internet rate. Territories with no internet figure contribute nothing, so this is a floor.
Concentration
63%
0%100%
Iran, the largest single territory, holds 63% of speakers. Spread out enough that regional wording and currency will come up.
Territories
4
1 where it is official nationally, 2 where at least one person in five speaks it. The rest are diaspora and minority populations, which CLDR does record.
Reachable GDP
$5.2T
Combined GDP of every territory where the language appears. It counts whole economies, not the speakers' share, so read it as an upper bound.

Where Azerbaijani is spoken
Every territory CLDR records, largest speaker count first. Share is of that territory's own population, so the column has no total.
| Territory | Share of that market | Speakers | Online | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IranIR | 24% | 21.2M | 18.1M | major |
| AzerbaijanAZ | 98.9% | 10.5M | 9.6M | official |
| TürkiyeTR | 1.4% | 1.2M | 1M | minority or diaspora |
| IraqIQ | 1.8% | 757.5K | 617.2K | minority or diaspora |
CLDR does record diaspora populations, so a language usually appears in more territories than its home markets, at small shares. Those rows rarely justify a launch on their own, but they are why total reach runs higher than any one country page shows. A dash in the online column means no World Bank internet figure, not zero.
