	Takam Takam ( Azerbaijani: تکم for "my billy goat") is the name of the king of goats, a male goat, in the folklore of Azarbaijan, Iran. ''Takam's'' effigies are made out of wood and ornamented with coloured glass beads and cock's tail feathers.

In addition, Old Azeri is known to have strong affinities with Talysh. Old Azeri was the dominant language in Azerbaijan before it was replaced by Azerbaijani, which is a Turkic language. Initial studies Ahmad Kasravi, a predominant Iranian Azeri scholar and linguist, was the first scholar who examined the Iranian language of Iran's historic Azerbaijan region.
