Abstract
In this article, based on the author’s field materials from ethnolinguistic expeditions in the Purovsky and Krasnoselkupsky districts of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the state of folklore traditions of the Selkups of the Tazov-Turukhan group is assessed. The field materials are based on the oral folklore of the Selkups from Krasnoselkup (2008), Tolka (2008–2023) and Tarko-Sale (2012). In order to introduce the research results into scientific use, the folklore works were freely translated from the Selkup language into Russian, preserving the phonetic characteristics and peculiarities of the different dialects of the Selkup language.
