Tengri (turkish: Tanri) is the Supreme God of the Turco-Mongol shamanist tradition. Peoples from the Yakuts to Chuvash, the Turks and Mongols not to mention, have retained this name designated to the Sky God. Veriations of the name include: Tengri (Uyghur, Mongolian), Tanri (Turkish), Tangri (Kazan Tatar, Azeri, Turkmen), Tangara (Yakut or Sakha) The Chinese word for "heaven", "Tian" is allegedly a cognate of Tengri, as an attestation of Turkic origin of certain early Chinese dynasties
