Tengri (English spelling)

Japanese: テングリ(英語表記)tngri
Tengri (English spelling)
It refers to heaven as a material entity in the Turks and Mongols, and to the heavenly gods as spiritual entities in the shamanistic view of the gods, or to the gods under the heavenly gods. In Mongolian it is also written as tegri or tenggeri, with tängri being the Romanization of ancient Turkish. Heaven was deified due to reverence for the blue sky itself. Heaven bestows mortal life and spirits on people. Heaven is the maintainer of world order, protecting people but also inflicting punishment. Punishment is announced by natural phenomena such as comets, famines, and floods, which causes people to reflect on their actions.
