Abstract: This paper discusses nominal word forms with a long vowel oо in the subdialects of the Ulagan dialect of the Telengit language. The Telengit language is considered as an independent language divided into two large dialects: Ulagan and Chuya. The diphthong oa in the Telos (Cholushman) subdialect of the Ulagan dialect corresponds to the long vowel oo of the first syllable in Balyktuyul, Saratan-Yazuli, Kara-Kuduyur, Chibilin, Chibit subdialects. The long vowel aa in other subdialects corresponds to the long vowel oo in the second syllable of bisyllables in the Chibit subdialect. As opposed to the literary language, in the Altai-Kizhi dialect, bisyllable word forms with a long vowel oo in the first syllable and a variant with a short vowel o in the first syllable are used. In addition, unlike literary language but as in the Ulagan and Chuya dialects of the Telengit language, Altai-Kizhi dialect has bisyllable word forms, with the long syllable oo of the first syllable followed by the labial vowel u in the second syllable. The long vowel oo and the diphthongs oa, ua are formed due to the drop of intervocalic consonants g, y, n, v. The duration (quantitativeness) of the vowel oo in the first syllables depends on the position in front of the narrow vowel in the second syllable and in front of the sonorous consonants r, l, m, n. The longitude of the vowel oo is formed during the morphological buildup of the possessive indicators and affix of the participle with the narrow vowel u.
