Bhatiali is a famous song of this district. The song is still sung by the boatmen of the area . The Meyeli geet (women folk songs), folk tale, folk belief, pala songs, proverbs, riddle, verse, rhymes etc of this district occupy a distinctive place in Bangla Literature.

Language: Every country has its own regional language outside the standard language system. There are many upazilas of Kishoreganj district where many contradictions are made for the regional language. That is, in all, Kishoreganj's own language style has given people an unique feature of this region. A major feature of the language system of this district is that while talking here many times people use the words of the past to be used in the current time. For example, I did not like, I did not, I did not think so. These words are usually used in the pure sense of the past. For example (in sadhu), 'I do not eat at home' (in the same language) 'I do not eat in his house'. But in Kishoreganj region these words are used in spoken words in the present sense. As I did not eat (I did not eat), I did not (I did not). As well as regional languages of Kishoreganj, local residents of the remote Haoror upazila of Ashgram have a native language, which is difficult to understand except for the local residents. The local language of the language is 'Saheum Language'. Some examples of language languages are as follows: Tiga-cigarette or bidi 'tigera barra' in Sierra, that is, give me a cigarette or bidi. In the many shops and shops of the district, employers and employees use an inaccurate sign language. The origin of this language is mainly due to the demand for business confidentiality. Although it is not known when and how this sign language is created, it is known that in these traditions the traditions of this language have been widely used in ancient times.
