Abstract
The article handles the typological convergence of Abaza folk tales with Udmurt, Karelian, Tibetan, Burmese, Vietnamese, Korean, Khmer, Mongolian folklore works. In the analysis, the main attention is paid to the comparison of storylines, figurative system. Also, there are separate reflections of numerical symbolism, object images that set off the national color, features of the ethnic worldview, moral values reflected in fairy-tale prose. Other motives and details related to the cultural specifics of a particular folk are also revealed. The studied material leads to the conclusion that the differences in fairy tales most often relate to the figurative system. But, peoples living in different parts of the world have similar plots, themes, problems, conflicts, life situations, moral guidelines.
