Burmese kinship

The Burmese kinship system is a fairly complex system used to define family in the Burmese language. In the Burmese kinship system:

  • Maternal and parental lineages are not distinguished, except for members of the parents' generations.
  • Relative age of a sibling relation is considered.
  • Gender of the relative is distinguished.
  • Generation from ego is indicated.
