Tamga is a Turkish word consisting of the root word Tam and the suffix ga. Tam means complete. Tamga means consisting of complete ideas.

Hun tamga

It is not known what was depicted on the bone that was interpreted as a Hun tamga. The Tanghuyao recorded the Hun tamga, and it has nothing to do with the posted logo. The Hun tamga looked as letter U. Citation from Yu.Zuev's translation, p 102:

"Horses [of the tribe] Hun 84* 匈奴 (Kün), common breed with Khu-se's (Koksa ?) horses. [They are located] in present tutukdom Gao-lan 85*, and their branched-off clans are in the Gao-lan-[shan] 86* mountains and May-tszün-tszi-[shan] 87*. Tamga [35] U ∩" ^[1] Barefact (talk) 07:55, 2 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Abovementioned assertion that 'tam' is Turkish, is nonsense. Tam is ARABIC and means 'complete'. The word 'tamga' can be Altaic (although I doubt it), the use of the damga (ideographic/character) system is very likely to be of Chinese origin ( W. Thomsen 1893). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiterrorist2011 (talk • contribs) 15:41, 1 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

This page is invaded by pantutkism. No mention of sarmatian (there are a lot of sources...) Nor parthian monograms. They should have their own chapter but all we can see here is the insistence on the Turkic origin of all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.177.46.41 (talk) 09:21, 6 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Tamga cannot be a seal, a stamp. (See: Cat: tamga (seal)). Tamga is a sign, representing a group of people, clan, tribe. A sign can be used on a stamp, a seal. Elekes Andor (talk) 10:16, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
