[edit] Number of Speakers=
Fars province has approximately 2.5 million people, according to 2006 census. The number of Qashqais is significant, but as it is very apparent for any one who has visited Fars province, their number is not an overwhelming majority. If you go by the number given here, 60% of people in Fars are Qashqais. I don't believe this number is correct.
Generally speaking, Ethnologue has really messed up data. I contacted them several times, and they can not verify their numbers or sources. They just repeat the same generic answer:" We obtain our data from a variety of credible researchers across the globe." But it pretty much ends there. I suggest that we quote a more reliable source. mrjahan 5:56 PM, SET, Jan. 25, 2007.
