There are no reliable statistics about the number of Zazaki speakers.
The government has discouraged, or prevented by force, regular and free publication in Zazaki.
Zazaki is spoken in eastern Turkey at the north-western borders of Kurdish-speaking areas, in a triangle defined by the cities of Siverek, Erzincan, and Varto, as well as in an exclave of several villages near Mutki west of Bitlis, which may suggest a formerly wider distribution of Zazaki.

"Northern Zaza communities have lost a stable pattern of oral use. In that community, members of the child-bearing generation have almost entirely stopped transmitting the language to their children."
Language use is stronger in Southern Zaza
