The article investigates two important questions, namely: whether N. K. Yalatov was a traditional taleteller and whether the Yangar (Alt. Jаҥар) authored by the former is an Altaian epic. The provided arguments emphasize Yalatov’s taletelling skills and contest the long-lived idea that the bilingual Altaians had borrowed this epic from taletellers of western Mongolian tribes. Despite all the similarities and differences between the two epics, the paper suggests that the Yangar belongs to the Altaian oral folklore tradition, though it is diffi cult to reveal the actual relations between the Oirat Jangar and the Altaian Yangar without comprehensive comparative studies.
