The paper presents a textual analysis of samples of non-fairytale prose of the Khakas people
on Sagai, Kachin, Kyzyl and Shor dialects of the Khakas language, recorded by the researchers V.
V. Radlov (1866–1907), N. F. Katanov (1878–1892), researchers of the Khakas Research Institute
of Language, Literature and History D. I. Chankov (1949), A.G. Kyzlasova (1948, 1976), V.
E. Mainagasheva (1968, 1975, 2005), L. K. Achitaeva (1998), S. K. Kulumaeva (2001). The analysis was done of archival and published texts, as well as transcribed recordings based
on the materials of folklore expeditions. The main part of the texts were archival materials of the
Manuscript Fund of the Khakas Research Institute of Language, Literature and History. The texts
deciphered from audio recordings were studied, with their originals being stored in the Archive
of traditional music of the M. I. Glinka Novosibirsk state Conservatory. Scholarly comments to
the texts include their versions recorded in different years. In the course of the research, the genre,
textual, and linguistic features of the samples of non-fairy prose were identified. The textual analysis
revealed the characteristic features of the dialect of the Khakas speech, reflected in the records
of non-fairytale prose.
