The same thing with Telugu - found this horribly confusing as a child. Link to Telugu: https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~vemuri/classes/freshman/family.htm https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~vemuri/classes/freshman/family.h... One thing I always thought was interesting was the value placed in having names for marital ties - we treat relations through marriage with not much specific vocabulary in English, with -in-law being inserted for closer relations like brothers and sisters but not for cousin or uncle, for instance. I wonder if Old English had better terminology for such relations that have dropped in the modern version of the language.
