Demographics
[edit]Language
[edit]The town has a distinct language/dialect of Farsi, known as "Velayati" or " Kuhpaye'i" and very similar to the Gazi language, which belongs to the northwestern Iranian languages (Indo-European -> Indo-Iranian -> Iranian -> Western -> Northwestern II -> Tatic -> Kermanic/Central Plateau -> Southwestern -> Velayati/Gazi).
Population
[edit]At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 4,417 in 1,200 households, when it was in the former Kuhpayeh District of Isfahan County.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 4,587 people in 1,335 households.[7] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 5,518 people in 1,765 households.[2]
In 2021, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Kuhpayeh County, and Kuhpayeh was transferred to the new Tudeshk District as the county's capital.[4]
