Abstract
‎In this article‎, ‎we introduce three families of subgroups of the fundamental group of graphs that indicate the presence of cycles of a specific length‎. ‎We examine the interconnection between these families‎, ‎such as their normality and their behavior with respect to the common homomorphisms between the fundamental groups of graphs‎. ‎Ultimately we demonstrate that there is a finite length depended on the diameter of graph‎, ‎after which all of these subgroups are equal to the fundamental group of graph‎.
