did some wiki/goog searches out of curiosity and finally figured out what dialect of chinese my family speaks (yeah i know, the feeling of growing up thinking that certain words are khmer only to realize as a teen/adult that uh. yeah no thats chinese :/)

#in retrospect this should have been super easy thing to figure out but like.#i didnt realize until JUST NOW. because when i went on vacation with my cousins one of them #called our aunt ‘kgou’. but i’ve always called her ‘e’.#…..because chinese delineates ‘aunt on my father’s side’ from ‘aunt on my mother’s side’#and she’s related to us through her dad. i guess. meanwhile our aunt is my mom’s elder sister. wild #…….normally you would just call an aunt ‘ming/bu’ depending…. but we’re fucking chinese i guess.#i do not have this problem with my fathers side. those bitches are full blooded
