List of Yazidi settlements

The following is a list of Yazidi settlements in Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Armenia, including both current and historical Yazidi settlements. Historically, Yazidis lived primarily in Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. However, events since the end of the 20th century have resulted in considerable demographic shifts in these areas as well as mass emigration. Today, the majority of the Yazidi population lives in Iraq and are particularly concentrated in the Nineveh Plains and Sinjar areas in the Nineveh Province in northern Iraq.
Today "Êzîdxan" (Land of Yazidis) has an ambiguous meaning as the area has not been defined geographically. Despite this, two Yazidi militias in Iraq are named: the Êzîdxan Protection Force and the Êzîdxan Women's Units (an all-female militia offshoot of the Sinjar Resistance Units).
