public_comment: "The statistics from 1976 on the Khinalug village were gathered by a research group under the guidance of N. Volkova from the Ethnographic Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. Unfortunately, this data merely reflects the total number of inhabitants living in the Khinalug village irrespective of their nationality or mother tongue.",

public_comment: "The most recent census gives a figure of 2,500 for the Khinaliq people for the year 1976 (cf. Clifton 2005). Over the years, figures for the Khinalug speakers have varied from 2,315 in 1886 to 100 (!) in 1926, 1,000 in 1968, and 1,754 according to a 1970 census. In the 1959 census, and in censuses since 1976, the Khinalug people were not counted as a separate ethnic group (Gardanova 1962, Desheriyev 1968, Kibrik 1972, Isaev 1978, Cavadov and Huseinov 1993) due to the ideological Soviet definition of “ethnicity” ('natsionalnost') that has persisted up to the present day in Azerbaijan. Nevertheless we may safely claim that the total amount of Khinalug native speakers by no means exceeds 1,500 persons today.",

public_comment: ""The language use patterns for Xınalıq village show that Khinalug is the language of the home and the
village, while Azerbaijani is the language of education and outside contact. Both are necessary in daily life, and both are valued for specific purposes."
