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.
