Tamarians

The Tamarians are a humanoid species native to the Alpha Quadrant. Whilst the standard Universal Translator employed by Starfleet is capable of translating their language, it cannot translate the context of their various dialects, which is deeply routed in metaphor and historic reference unique to their own culture. In 2400, James Copper partook in an exchange with the Tamarians, earning the Badge of Temba which he later wore at a diplomatic mediation between the Tamarians and the Yridians.
