Place:List of Yazidi settlements

From HandWiki

The following is a list of Yazidi settlements in Iraq, Syria and Turkey, including both current and historical Yazidi settlements. Historically, Yazidis lived primarily in Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. However, events since the end of the 20th century have resulted in considerable demographic shifts in these areas as well as mass emigration.[1] Today, the majority of the Yazidi population lives in Iraq and are particularly concentrated in the Nineveh Plains and Sinjar areas in the Nineveh Province in northern Iraq.[2][3] In the 19th century, an autonomous Yazidi principality existed in the Ottoman Empire and was named "Êzîdxan" ("Land of the Yazidis" in English[4]). The principality was in the Redwan region (north of Cizir)[5] however, today "Êzîdxan" has an ambiguous meaning as the area has not been defined geographically. Despite this, two Yazidi militias in Iraq are named: the Êzîdxan Protection Force and the Êzîdxan Women's Units (an all-female militia offshoot of the Sinjar Resistance Units).[6][7]
