"According to the census of 1390/2012, Urmia has 667,499 residents ("1.7% Assyrian"), Sopurghan has 243 residents (an Assyrian village), Solduz has 550,750 (of whom none are apparently Assyrian or Jewish), and Sardrud, today a suburb of Tabriz, has over 35,000K, albeit no information about the Assyrian population (according to one source, fewer than 0.6% of the 1,494,998 inhabitants (census of 1390/2012) of Tabriz are non-Azeri or Persian). That gives a maximum threshold of about 11,347 (Urmia) + 243 (Sopurghan) + 8,970 (Tabriz area) = ca. 20,560 speakers in and around Urmia."
Speaker number does not include speakers of the Iraqi Koine (based on the Urmian standard) spoken in diaspora communities.
