There is an estimated number of Shabak people living in the Ninevah area somewhere between four to five hundred. Their spoken languages are Turkish, Persian, Kurdish, and Arabic. They also have their own language known as Shabaki. It differs from any other Kurdish languages or dialects. Many people in the Kurdish parties are trying to say that the Shabaki language is just only a dialect off of the Kurdish language. The Shabak people do not have one set of religious beliefs. Their beliefs usually consist of Shi's, Sunni, Shiite, Muslim, and Christian. Those who are in the the Shiite religion have a very famous shrine, known as the Zeen Al- Abedeen Shrine which is located in the Ali Rash village. The Shabaki people may live with other cultures like the Kurds but they always had their own style, how they dress. They have their own clear separate foods and customs.
