It has been difficult to establish the exact number of the Sarakatsani over the years, since they were dispersed and migrated in summer and winter and were not considered a distinct group such that census data have not included separate information on them.
多年来，萨拉卡察尼人的数量一直难以确定，因为他们人数分散，在夏季和冬季还会迁移，而他们不被视为一个独特的群体也使普查数据并未详细说明他们的人数。
