Geographically, it includes the West Azerbaijan province, Kurdistan province, Kermanshah province, Ilam province and parts of Hamadan province and Lorestan province.

In totality, Kurds are about 10% of Iran's total population and nearly all of them are bilingual in their ethnic language and Persian.
