Résumé anglais Mihail V. Kriukov, Ethnic continuity of the Mon-Khmer mountain groups of South Vietnam. Attention is paid mainly to the analysis of kin units known as mpol among the Koho and turn among the Maa. They proved to belong to two different types of social organization. The first one is an exogamous matrilineal group of kin relatives whose hereditary name is common. The second one can be isolated as a non-exogamous patrilineal group of families exhibiting economical, social and ideological unity. Variants of the two types represented by different subdivisions of Koho and Maa can be treated as reflection of successive stages of the transformation of the underlying protomodel. From this point of view they represent a sort of continuity with Tring on one pole and Maa on the other. Despite gradual slackening of social functions of exogamous mpol units they still are main regulators of marriage rules. Both mpol and turn are functioning as essential elements of social structure notwithstanding the deformation of traditional kin organization during the last decades.
