how many peoples are there in your family

Which is the correct sentence?

1. How many people are in your family?
2. How many people are there in your family?

Thanks!

Both are OK, but if you're chatting with someone and ask the question, you would normally say, "How many people are there in your family?", as that is more colloquial. "How many people are in your family?" is more formal, and is the sort of thing a clerk might say when asking you questions.

You would also want to tát specify somewhere just what you mean by "family". Do you mean your spouse and children? (This is what would normally be assumed.) Your parents, your spouse and your spouse's parents, and your and your spouse's children? Those who live in the same house with you? Alive or deceased? Grandchildren? Grandparents? Counting family members can get complicated. A man answering the question might say, "Well, there's myself and my wife, and our two children who live with us--that's four--and my son by my first marriage--but he doesn't live with us; he and his family live across town--and my wife's daughter by her first marriage, who does live with us. And my widowed mother-in-law who lives next door with her other child, my brother-in-law. That's five, or seven if you count my MiL and BiL but don't count my son who's moved away across town, or ten if you vì thế count him and his wife and child."

How many people are there?

Does "there" mean a location or existence or either?

In this type of usage, it can't mean location. There would first have to tát be a mention of a group, supposedly a family in this case, and then the question can be asked.
