"The actual number of Tsakhurs is most likely higher, possibly as high as 50,000 (Ibragimov 1990)."
"According to the 1989 Soviet census, there are 19,972 Tsakhur... In the 1989 Soviet census, 93% of Tsakhurs claimed to speak Tsakhur as their first language. A significant percentage, 6%, reported a language other than Russian or Tsakhur as their first language. We assume this is Azerbaijani."
"The Tsakhur language and people are under increasing influence from Azerbaijani... Everyone in Yeni Suvaqil and Ağyazi was reported to speak and understand Tsakhur perfectly. In Qum, everyone other than preschool and school-aged children was also reported to speak and understand Tsakhur perfectly. School-aged children in Qum were reported to have average proficiency in understanding and basic proficiency in speaking Tsakhur, while preschool children were reported to have basic proficiency in understanding and less than basic proficiency in speaking Tsakhur. The only group reported to have any significant proficiency in reading or writing Tsakhur was school-aged children. They were reported to have basic levels of reading and writing in Tsakhur if they studied well... Three generalizations can be drawn about the state of Tsakhur in Azerbaijan. First, Tsakhur is losing its viability in some communities. There are two reasons for this: (i) a language shift towards Azerbaijani in some communities and (ii) a population movement away from some communities due to economic difficulties. Second, Tsakhur is very strong in some communities. In Yeni Suvaqil, for example, proficiency in Tsakhur is being maintained even in the younger generations, and Tsakhur is being used in all of the major domains of life except education. Third, Tsakhur is gaining prominence within the region. This can be seen in the growth of interest in Tsakhur-language study in school and the growing development of Tsakhur-language materials."

"In Qum, Azerbaijani is the main language in all domains, while the use of Tsakhur is limited. If Tsakhur is used at all, it is minimally used in the home. Some individuals also use it on the street... Recently both Tsakhur radio programs and newspapers have appeared in the areas where Tsakhurs live in Azerbaijan as well as in Dagestan."
"There are over thirty Tsakhur villages (Schulze 1997) scattered from the Samur River valley in the Rutul district of Southern Dagestan in the north to the Azerbaijani districts of Zaqatala and Qax in the south. It has been claimed that close to two-thirds of the Tsakhur population lives in Azerbaijan. Schulze (1997) identifies nine villages in Azerbaijan where Tsakhurs constitute the majority of the population: Ağdam-Kalyal, Suvaqil, Karkay, Kalalu, Sabunçi, Alaskar, Mamrux, Gezbarax, and Mişleş. All of these are in the district of Zaqatala. Significant numbers of Tsakhur are said to live in an additional sixteen ethnically mixed communities."
