The purpose of the work is to study scientific and theoretical problems of dividing the spiritual vocabulary of the Manas epic into thematic and lexical-semantic groups. The analysis of the spiritual vocabulary of the epic in the article is carried out on the basis of descriptive, structural analysis and comparative methods of the language. A scientific review of the views of some scientists on thematic and lexical-semantic classifications of word groups in linguistics is carried out, and on this basis, the main theoretical provisions of their classification principles are determined. Illustrative materials from the epic "Manas", which is a striking heritage of the Kyrgyz people, were presented as a confirmation of the above provisions and theoretical questions. The epic "Manas" includes vocabulary associated with various rituals and traditions in connection with the birth of a child, with the bride to the aul of the groom, reflecting the spiritual culture of the Kyrgyz people.
