Matt beat me to it on Malay/Indonesian! I would just like to add
that while many (most?) varieties that I am familiar with work the
way Matt describes, some exhibit an asymmetry in which elder
siblings are distinguished for gender while younger ones are not.
This pattern is also evident in closely-related Minangkabau:<br>
<br>
adiak - 'younger sibling'<br>
uda - 'elder brother'<br>
uni - 'elder sister'<br>
<br>
And I suspect that it is common in other languages of the region.<br>

</div>
<div>Does anyone know of a language that has a distinction
in the kinship system for age of referent
(younger/older) without also having a distinction for
gender of referent? For example, a language that marks
siblings as being younger or older to ego without
reference to being sister or brother.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The hypothesis is that this doesn't happen/is very
rare. We'd like to know if you've come across any
examples of this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm asking for my friend Alex (cc:ed) who is not on
the list. Please direct any responses or comments to
her.</div>
