We describe on the Heisenberg group Hn a family of spaces M(h, X) of functions which play a role analogous to the trigonometric polynomials in Tn or the functions of exponential type in Rn. In particular we prove that for the space M(h, X), Jackson's theorem holds in the classical form while Bernstein's inequality hold in a modified form. We end of the paper with a characterization of the functions of the Lipschitz space by the behavior of their best approximations by functions in the space M(h, X).
