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. A pole affixed to a ''Takam'' is passed through a hole in a plank which is held horizontally, from below which the ''Takam'' is moved as though it is dancing on the surface of the plank. While doing so, the person playing the ''Takam'', who is referred to as ''Takam-Chi'' (تکم چی), or ''Takam Gardān'' (meaning, the one who turns around the ''Takam''), chants special poetry which in Azari is called '' Sāyā'' (سایا). The tradition of playing the ''Takam'' is millennia old and invariably in all ''Sāyā''s reference is made to natural landscapes,Photographs showing some of Azarbaijan's beautiful landscapes:

Azerbaijani Language
Azerbaijani () or Azeri (), also referred to as Azeri Turkic or Azeri Turkish, is a Turkic language from the Oghuz sub-branch spoken primarily by the Azerbaijani people, who live mainly in the Republic of Azerbaijan where the North Azerbaijani variety is spoken, and in the Azerbaijan region of Iran, where the South Azerbaijani variety is spoken. Although there is a very high degree of mutual intelligibility between both forms of Azerbaijani, there are significant differences in phonology, lexicon, morphology, syntax, and sources of loanwords. North Azerbaijani has official status in the Republic of Azerbaijan and Dagestan (a federal subject of Russia), but South Azerbaijani does not have official status in Iran, where the majority of Azerbaijani people live. It is also spoken to lesser varying degrees in Azerbaijani communities of Georgia and Turkey and by diaspora communities, primarily in Europe and North America. Both Azerbaijani varieties are members of the Oghuz b ...
