##article.abstract##

Folk epics play a vital role in the formation of national literature by preserving the collective identity, values, and traditions of a people. As orally transmitted narratives, they recount heroic deeds and significant events, fostering cultural unity and pride. Their transition from oral to written forms often marks the development of national languages and literary traditions. Folk epics provide a rich repository of themes, motifs, and linguistic elements that influence later literary works. By bridging oral and written traditions, these epics shape the cultural and artistic foundations of national literature, ensuring their enduring significance.
