The research objectives are as follows: to identify and describe appellative vocabulary in the Tuvan chastushka toponymy. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that for the first time in the Tuvan linguistics, the author examines the functioning of appellatives and toponyms with the appellative component in the Tuvan chastushka.
