The vast majority of Azerbaijanis live in the Republic of Azerbaijan and Iranian Azerbaijan.
Between 8 and 18.5 million Azerbaijanis live in Iran, mainly in the northwestern provinces.
Approximately 9.1 million Azerbaijanis are found in the Republic of Azerbaijan.
A diaspora of over a million is spread throughout the rest of the world.
According to Ethnologue, there are over 1 million speakers of the northern Azerbaijani dialect in southern Dagestan, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russian proper, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
No Azerbaijanis were recorded in the 2001 census in Armenia, where the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resulted in population shifts.
Other sources, such as national censuses, confirm the presence of Azerbaijanis throughout the other states of the former Soviet Union.
