This can cause confusion when Panjabi-speaking children attend English schools, and appear to refer to cousins as siblings. However South Asian languages do have the resources to indicate that a “brother” is in fact what we in English call a “cousin”； they do this by using a compound expression meaning “cousin-brother”. So why don't the speakers translate this into English, and shorten it to “cousin”? After all, if they want to distinguish a “cousin-brother” from a “cousin-sister” they can always say “male (or female) cousin”. But there is a difficulty, because South Asian languages have much richer resources than English for talking about cousins. They have separate words according to whether your “cousin” is the child of your uncle or your aunt. And as your uncle (or your aunt) may be your father's (or your mother's) siblings, there are separate words for each case. But that's not all. Your parent's sibling may be older (or younger) than your parent, so this too has to be reflected in the “cousin” terminology. The “cousin” relationship therefore includes “father's older sister's child”, “mother's younger brother's child”, etc. No wonder that the “cousin-” prefix is normally dropped by South Asian children, both in their own languages and when the use English, with the relative concerned becoming a plain “brother” or “sister”!
