The people actually using the constant are translators.

What about India? They alone would reduce China from the 'vast' majority[0].

Is this concept also used in any of the major Indian languages?

Yes in Hindi you have different nouns and adjectives for uncles, aunts and cousins depending on the relation path:
E.g. Mother's sister = Mausi
Mother's sister's child = Mauseri/mausera
Father's younger brother's child = chacheri/chachera
And so on.
Although some of these are more obscure and I'm not sure how commonly they are used these days.

I see.
Notably, mapping the entire path isn't congruent with the concept in the topic, which encompasses both "Father's sister's daughter, younger than me" and "Mother's sibling's daughter, younger than me" in one phrase.
Itβs probably the vast majority of people using it though? Simply by virtue of being such a massive country.
