The paper combines the micro-analysis of interaction with findings from a large-scale survey indicating that urban Russian-speaking Kazakhs are undergoing dramatic changes in their language views, use and proficiency. It analyses everyday interactions in families engaged in re-acquisition of a "native" language of their ethnic identity, focusing on 15 hours of audio-recorded interaction in an urban family of ethnic Kazakhs in which children brought up speaking Russian are enrolled in a Kazakh-medium pre-school.
