Family Relationship Names in Chinese

I stumbled across this fantastic site this morning that details, in a lovely clear table, all of the family relationship names in Chinese such as mother, uncle on the father's side, older sister etc. It includes formal and informal names in both Mandarin and Cantonese and shows the characters and pinyin. Amazingly, it goes through the generations from great-great-grandparents right down to great-great-grandchildren!

Here is the link for the detailed table. You will also see links under the heading near the top of the detailed table page that lead you to an introduction page and a page that has a diagram in English of a family tree. These are worth reading as they explain a bit of how the information is organised and how to easily use it.

I hope you find this handy!!
