  Axions were first introduced in connection with chiral symmetry but are now
being looked for mainly as dark matter. In this paper we introduce a nonabelian
analogue of axions which can also be potential candidates for dark matter.
Their nonabelian symmetries, which are generalizations of the Peccei-Quinn
symmetry, are interesting in their own right. Detailed analysis, using fermion
measure and zeta function approaches shows that these symmetries are not
anomalous.
