According to Al-Wer, Enam (2006). "The Arabic-speaking Middle East der arabischsprachige Mittlere Osten". In Ammon, Ulrich; Dittmar, Norbert; Mattheier, Klaus J; Trudgill, Peter (eds.). Sociolinguistics / Soziolinguistik, Part 3. De Gruyter. doi:10.1515/9783110184181.3.9.1917. ISBN 978-3-11-019987-1:

"There is also a small group of Turkumans, speakers of a variety of Turkish (a detailed study of the Jordanian Domaris and Turkumans is Moawwad 1999, see also Ethnologue report for Jordan)."

Wikipedia cites two sources mentioning 60,000 ethnic Turks in Jordan and 8,262 Turkish citizens in Jordan ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turks_in_Jordan )

Editorial Action

We will add an L1 speaker population for Turkish [tur] in Jordan, to be included in the next edition of the Ethnologue.
