According to some sources, the majority of people in northern Qazvin (Alamut) are Tats who speak a dialect of the Tati language.گونه‌های زبانی تاتی، دونالد استیلو، ۱۹۸۱مقاله «بررسی گویش تاتی الموت»، پرویز البرزی ورکی، ۱۳۷۰، دانشگاه تهران However, other sources claim that the majority of people in Alamut are Mazandarani or Gilaks who speak a dialect of the Mazandarani language or Gilaki language.

According to some linguists, the term "Tati" was used by Turkic speakers to refer to non-Turkic speakers.واژۀ تات را مردم ترک زبان به همسایگان غیرترک خود اطلاق می کردند. برخی تات را مترادف تازیک و تاجیک (یعنی فارسی زبان) دانسته ان دانشنامه اسلامید.نامی که ترک ها به ایرانیان و کسانی که در سرزمین ترکان و یا سرزمین های تحت استیلای ترکان به سر می بردند... اند، فرهنگ عمیدبه گروههای مختلف از اقوام غیرترک اطلاق شده:۱ - طبق قول مندرج دردیوان لغات الترک (۲۲۴) این نام نزد همه ترکان در مورد ایرانیان بکار میرفته جلال الدین مولوی هم دراشعار ترکی خود این نام را به ایرانیان اطلاق کرده. This could explain why some sources claim the people of Alamut are Tats, while others claim they are Mazanderani or Gilaks. Likely, the "Tats" of Alamut are Mazandarani or Gilak speakers who have been labeled as Tats, as historically they were considered Mazandarani or Gilaks.ألکامل، ابن اثیر
