Contradiction

[edit]
  • Iranian toman: In unofficial circumstances, a toman may also refer to either 1,000 tomans or 1,000,000 tomans. The order of the magnitude of the amount would be considered to be apparent from the context.
  • Iranian rial: most Iranians think in tomans when discussing money; which could mean 10, 10,000 or 10,000,000 rials, depending on the context.

there is no contradiction:
1 toman = 10 rials
and 1000 t = 10,000 r
and 1,000,000 t = 10,000,000 r

therefore saying that car is 12 tomans (12 mil tomans), means in official language: that car is 120,000,000 rials --Gerash77 11:13, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are no such thing as 'toman' notes: all Iranian notes are in Rials. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.238.132.156 (talk) 15:13, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Turkic vs Mongolian

[edit]

The word "Tümen" is Turkic rooted but not Mongolic. Which means "ten thousand" in Old Turkic. It's still used in the Modern Turkish language as "Division (military)". A division consist of 10,000 men.[1] These are a borrowing from the Mongolian word 'tumen' (ten thousand). 'Tumen' (ten thousand) was also in Old Turkic.[2] In general we agree with Doerfer's arguments (TMN 2, 632-642: the Turkic word is the source of Persian tūmān '10000', not vice versa, although in some cases the word was borrowed back into Turkic[3]
