Abstract
The given article investigates the Sumerian iconic logograms and their borrowings in Assyria, concurring and comparing with tamga-signs (tokens) of Eurasian nomads for equivalent’s purpose rather than for determination’s aim. These collations have revealed ancestor’s trace of acculturation between autochthonous population of the south parts of Mesopotamia and aliens, presumably, kangaroo, which penetrated to them from north-east of Central Asian Iranian table land and mixed with them. The article considers the acculturate consequences between settled and nomadic nations before occupation of south parts of Mesopotamia. The consequences of acculturate, mainly in coincidence of Sumerian graphical logograms and tamgatokens of Eurasian nomads. A hypothesis was confirmed, that the information in Eurasia was delivered in latitudinal direction, however, to small extent upon meridian that entailed of diverse of letter systems, namely syllabic and alphabetic in the West and Central Asia and hieroglyphic in the East. Additionally, the problem of adjacency of Sumerian linguistic order and an ural-altaic linguistic system. It concerns proximity of these languages that they have common agglutinate order and identical phonetic processes. Given the comparison of Sumerian graphic logograms and tamga-tokens, the basic meaning of these tokens is emerged, moreover it would be a basis of token’s creation in the amidst of the first millennium B. C., which was in the incorporative level of its development in Altai. Considering Sumerian-Turkic lexical correspondences following languages: Old Turkic, Old Qypchaq language, modern Qypchaq (Chuvash, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Nogai, Crimean Tatar etc.) and Altaic languages (Khakassian, Altaic, Tuva, Yakut), also Turkish and Mongolian languages. Defined areas of distribution signs-tamga equivalently with Sumerian iconic logograms (Romania (Asanchi, Omurchi), Hungary, southern limits of the forest steppe zone of East Europe around Black (minor Asia) and Caspian seas, Saryarka of Kazakhstan, Altai, Northern and Inner Mongolia and East Turkestan).
