Abstract
The paper analyzes the language peculiarities of the Khakas heroic epos which form the basic stock of artistic-poetic tradition. It is shown that the vocabulary of the Khakas heroic legends contains archaic words reflecting certain epochs, loan words resulting from language contacts and, of course, spoken language words for the epic legends are a genuine genre of oral folklore poetics. As a whole, all these language means form a folklore language.
