Marwari Kinship Terms

What a Marwari family calls each relative — 150 relations, each word as a published study, survey or dictionary prints it, with the source beside it. The spellings are the sources' own, and there is no audio yet: that needs a native speaker's recording.

The RUDN study, the largest single source here, says of the terms:

The terms incorporate honorifics such as /sa/ and /ɟi/ and reflect gender differentiation through suffixes like /i/ and /ni/.

Kinship terms in Marwari: A sociolinguistic study (Goswami, R. & Shougrakpam, D., Training, Language and Culture 9(2), 2025), p. 43 (abstract).

Within each part of the family, the relations recorded by the most sources come first; ties are alphabetical.
