Mandailing literary art is transmitted through a distinctive tradition, for example through the following media:

1. {{Lang|btm|Marturi}}: Tradition tells the story in a verbal social context. Stories are transmitted from generation to generation. The plot uses advanced themes and a lot of content about manners.
2. {{Lang|btm|Ende Ungut-Ungut}}: Differentiated by the theme. {{Lang|btm|Ende}} is an expression of the heart, a change due to various things, such as the misery of life due to death, abandonment, and others. It also contains knowledge, advice, moral teachings, kinship system, and so on. {{Lang|btm|Ende}} laments use the rhyme scheme AB AB or AA AA. Attachments usually use a lot of plant names, because the language leaves.{{Clarify|date=November 2022}}

This story is believed to be the reason readers buy the newspaper.{{Citation needed|date=November 2022}} The series adopts epic tales, {{Lang|btm|turi-turian}}, and various social terminology of Angkola-Mandailing society and is written in novel style. This is in line with the development of Malay-language novels published by the colonial government. In the history of Indonesian literature, this period is known as the Angkatan Balai Pustaka or Angkatan 1920s. Hasundutan said that he wrote the novel because after being inspired by the novel Siti Nurbaja (Marah Rusli, 1922) which was very popular at that time.

15. Sutan Pangurabaan. His works include Ampang Limo Bapole (1930), Parkalaan Tondoeng (1937), Parpadanan (1930), and a Malay book, Mentjapai Doenia Baroe (1934). In addition to books written by Willem Iskander, his books were also used in colonial school.
16. Soetan Habiaran Siregar explores the languages, dances, and songs from Angkola-Mandailing. He writes several royalties, among others: Turi-turian ni Tunggal Panaluan, Panangkok Saring-Saring tu Tambak na Timbo (1983), and others. In addition, he also composed songs using a rhythmic cha-cha beat.

In addition to Mandailing Angkola's literary language, it is important to note the growth of Malay-language Indonesian literature adopting local color: for example, the novel Azab dan Sengsara (1921) written by Merari Siregar. This novel includes contextual customs and cultures such as forced marriage, inheritance, kinship relations, and the local traditions of Mandailing-Angkola.

Contemporary Mandailing literature is no longer developed since pre-independence, as the changing national education curriculum using the national language by itself erodes the use of Mandailing languages.

5. {{Lang|btm|Hata parkapur}} is the kind of language that Mandailing people used in the past when they searched for camphor.{{cite web |url=http://www.mandailingonline.com/mengenal-bahasa-mandailing-bagian-1/ |author =Basyral Hamidy Harahap |author-link =Basyral Hamidy Harahap |publisher =www.mandailingonline.com |title =Mengenal Bahasa Mandailing-bagian 1 |date =17 November 2018}}

Examples of vocabulary:

In the past, the Mandailing people also had a particular communication tool or kind of language called {{Lang|btm|Hata bulung-bulung}} ('foliage language'). This language is not a symbol of sound but uses the leaves of plants as a symbol.{{cite web |url= http://www.mandailingonline.com/mengenal-bahasa-mandailing-4-selesai/ |title = Mengenal Bahasa Mandailing-bagian 4 |author = Basyral Hamidy Harahap |author-link = Basyral Hamidy Harahap |publisher =www.mandailingonline.com |date =21 November 2016 |access-date =11 March 2018}}{{cite book | last=Nasution | first=Edi | title=Tulila : muzik bujukan Mandailing | publisher=Areca Books | location=Penang, Malaysia | year=2007 | isbn=978-983-42834-4-5 | oclc=193840475 | language=ms }}
