I am often intrigued by how widespread a lot of extended and even non-extended families are, and it’s fascinating to think of family members coming from different places to visit each other and having family gatherings with a bunch of different accents. What countries do you have known family members in?

Thanks for sending me on the deep dive on 粤语, 广东话，台山话 and finding out about 粤海, and the ambiguity in the meaning of Cantonese.
Edit: what language would you prefer to use with someone who spoke both Mandarin and English fluently as second languages?

Canada, USA, Paraguay, Germany. For a while, Brazil, Columbia, The Netherlands, and The Cayman Islands were on that list, too.
If we don’t count cruises and one day port visits, I might not have any living family members who have ever left the US.
Although, I had one half of my family all move to the South, so they bring back various accents when they visit.
USA, Bangladesh, Austria, Singapore, Japan
I bet all of them are taxi drivers, running some small dirty shop or the people who carry heavy stuff for work.
Only Canada.

how do people have so much family? I have like 10 family members that I know, and see once a year. they all live in my country aswell.
Well, each of my parents has 5 siblings who all had kids, so I have 2 siblings who have significant others and 2 kids each, and 17 1st cousins on my mom’s side and 14 on my dad’s side, many of whom now have their own children (I think we’re at 18 or 19 now, but I don’t facebook, so it could be over 20), plus the 12 uncles and aunts, and then there are the in-laws who have a less tidy structure, with 4 parents, 1 full sibling with 4 kids and 2 step-kids and 3 grand kids, 2 half siblings with 2 kids and a step kid, and 2 step siblings with 3 kids. And her mom had 4 siblings…
The big reunions I remember as a kid (for my great grandparent’s families) were well over 100 people. Because they all had 4-6 kids because that’s how you ran a family farm.
wow! that is crazy! i always dreamed of Zuge reuinions, but Form peoples stories i feel like they arent as amazingas i assume
Hah, can confirm that they aren’t amazing. Or at least mine isn’t. Let’s just say I sent video of one cousin at the capitol on Jan 6 to the FBI.
