Yazidis in Syria refer to people born in or residing in Syria who adhere to Yazidism,[3] a strictly endogamous religion.[4][5] Yazidis speak the Kurdish language of Kurmanji.[3] Although some are scattered in Turkey and the Armenia, Iraq is the center of their religious life, the home of their Amir, and of the tomb of their most revered saint, Sheikh Adi.[6] Yazidis in Syria live primarily in two communities, one in the Al-Jazira area and the other in the Kurd-Dagh.[3]
Population numbers for the Syrian Yazidi community are unclear. In 1963, the community was estimated at about 10,000, according to the national census, but numbers for 1987 were unavailable.[7] There may be between about 12,000 and 15,000 Yazidis in Syria today.[3][8] Since 2014, more Yazidis from Iraq have sought refuge in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria to escape the genocide of Yazidis by ISIL.[9][10][11] In 2014, there were about 40,000 Yazidis in Syria, primarily in the Al-Jazirah.[12]
