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.
