In brief

The largest documented number lives in Kazakhstan: 91 people in the 2021 census.

Official figures exist for 2 countries; together they add up to 105. This is not an estimate of the world total: the censuses were held in different years (2021-2021) and define belonging differently, and countries without such data are not counted.

In Russia's 2020 census (reference date 1 October 2021), 14 people identified with the nationality "Грузинские евреи" (Georgian Jews)1. That is less than 0.01% of the 130,587,364 residents who stated a nationality.

Main language: Judeo-Georgian. Glottolog classifies it in the Kartvelian family.

Where they live: census figures

Each figure comes from the country's official census. Censuses define belonging differently (self-identification, citizenship, mother tongue, ancestry); the type is given on each row.
