Urdu has even more discretization. Transliterated into latin characters

* Mother's brother = mamoo

* Mother's sister = khala

* Father's older brother = Taaya

* Father's younger brother = Chacho

* Father's sister = Phupo

Each of these's spouse also has a corresponding word. For example, Father's sister's husband will be Phupa.

Then, their children are identified with a suffix.

Mother's brother's son = Mamoo zaad bhai

Mother's brother's daughter = Mamoo zaad behan

Etc.

Adding further to the confusion in Urdu speaking areas when the cousin/mothers' relatives becomes your wife?
