This is a super detailed chart of Kinship based on the family kinship chart in the E. Heimbach White Hmong-English dictionary. The original chart (which you can find in the dictionary at the very end) was not user friendly at all. It is my hope that this one, while still somewhat intimidating, is much easier and more natural to understand. Feel free to comment with questions or suggestions to improve it. Of course, if there are errors, please let me know.
One Comment on “Heimbach Family Kinship Chart”
In the kinship chart for a man’s siblings and children, you correctly listed “muam” for sister, but incorrectly listed her husband as “yij lauj” instead of the correct term, “yawm yij.” However, you did use the correct term in your YouTube video, so the only issue is with this chart.
