Hainan dialect has its own kinship terms, which are mainly based on the traditional Hainan dialect. For example, my father's name is ABBA, my mother's name is Amai, my grandfather's name is Auntie, my grandmother's name is Auntie, my brother's name is Auntie, my brother's name is Adi, and my sister's name is Amoi.

What's the name of my mother's sister? According to seniority, my mother's sister should be called aunt in the north, but menstruation in the south, and the pronunciation of Hainanese should be Imai. In addition, my uncle's name is Yi Dad, my uncle's name is Bei Dad and my aunt's name is Bei Nian. Dad's brother and sister-in-law are called uncles, and they read Eddie in Hainan dialect and Nian in Auntie. My father's sister and brother-in-law are called Auntie, transliterated as Gumai, and my uncle is called Gudao. Mom's brother and sister-in-law are called uncles, transliteration is Niu Dad, and aunt's name is Jin Nian.

Hainan dialect, also known as Qionghua, is one of the Chinese dialects and belongs to Minnan dialect of Sino-Tibetan language family. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of Fujian Putian people moved to Hainan Island to avoid the massacre caused by the Mongolian riots. Due to the special geographical location of Hainan Island, Hainan dialect is less interfered by external languages, and a large number of ancient Chinese words and intonations have been preserved so far, which can be described as living fossils of ancient Chinese, so Hainan dialect is very different from the pronunciation we usually contact.
