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.
