Abstract	The unique cultural and political history of Central Asia has produced intriguing ethnic variations in union formation. We use data from a survey of 1,535 young adults conducted in 2005 in northern Kyrgyzstan to examine ethnic patterns of entry into marriage versus cohabitation. To reflect the historic-cultural and political realities of Kyrgyzstan, we subdivide ethnic Kyrgyz into two categories based on the degree of linguistic Russification—more-Russified Kyrgyz and less-Russified Kyrgyz—and compare them to each other and to respondents of European origin. The results of the multinomial discrete-time logit models show significant differences among the three groups. Thus, Europeans were most likely to enter cohabitation whereas less-Russified Kyrgyz were least likely to do so, net of other factors. The three groups were lined up in the converse order with respect to probability of entering marriage, but upon breakdown by gender this ordering was present only among women. In contrast, among men, more-Russified Kyrgyz were less likely to marry than both less-Russified Kyrgyz and Europeans. We interpret these findings in light of long-term historic-cultural and demographic distinctions as well as more recent politically induced cleavages in Kyrgyzstan.La spécificité de l’histoire culturelle et politique de l’Asie centrale a conduit à d’intéressantes différences ethniques dans la formation des unions. Les tendances selon l’ethnie de mariage versus cohabitation ont été étudiées à partir des données d’une enquête réalisée en 2005 auprès de 1535 jeunes adultes au nord du Kirghizstan. Afin de refléter au mieux les caractéristiques historico-culturelles et politiques du Kirghizstan, l’ethnie Kirghize a été divisée en deux catégories basées sur le degré de russification linguistique – kirghize plus russifié et kirghize moins russifié – qui ont été comparées entre elles et avec les personnes interrogées d’origine européenne. Les résultats de l’analyse menée à l’aide d’un modèle logit multinomial en temps discret montrent des différences significatives entre les trois groupes. Ainsi, en effets nets, les probabilités de commencer une cohabitation étaient les plus élevées chez les européens et les plus faibles chez les kirghizes les moins russifiés. Concernant la probabilité de se marier, un ordre inverse était observé entre les trois groupes, mais pour les femmes seulement. Pour les hommes, les kirghizes les plus russifiés avaient la probabilité de se marier la plus faible, comparée aux kirghizes les moins russifiés et aux européens. Ces résultats sont à interpréter à la lumière des différences historico-culturelles et démographiques existant de longue date au Kirghizstan et des récents clivages induits politiquement.
