In Central Australian Aboriginal English vernacular, subsections are widely known as "<b>skins</b>". Each subsection is given a name that can be used to refer to individual members of that group. Skin is passed down by a person's parents to their children. </p><p>The name of the groups can vary. There are systems with two such groupings (these are known as '<a href="/wiki/Kinship#Lineages,_clans,_phratries,_moieties,_and_matrimonial_sides" title="Kinship">moieties</a>' in kinship studies), systems with four (sections), six and eight (subsection systems). Some language groups extend this by having distinct male and female forms, giving a total of sixteen skin names, for example the Pintupi (listed below) and Warlpiri. While membership in skin groups is ideally based on blood relations, Australian Aboriginal subsection systems are classificatory, meaning that even people who are not actual blood relations are assigned to a subsection. They are also universal, meaning that every member of the society is assigned a position in the system. </p><p>Subsection systems are found in Aboriginal societies across much of Central, Western and Northern Australia. On the basis of detailed analysis and comparison of the various subsection systems and their terminologies, and in particular the apparent prefix /j-/ for male and /n-/ for female, it has been identified as a social innovation originally from the Daly River region of the Northern Territory, which then spread rapidly southwards to other groups.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Systems_with_two_groupings_(moieties)"><span id="Systems_with_two_groupings_.28moieties.29"></span>Systems with two groupings (moieties)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Australian_Aboriginal_kinship&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Systems with two groupings (moieties)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Yolngu">Yolngu</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Australian_Aboriginal_kinship&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Yolngu"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Yol%C5%8Bu" class="mw-redirect" title="Yolŋu">Yolŋu</a> people of north-eastern <a href="/wiki/Arnhem_Land" title="Arnhem Land">Arnhem Land</a> divide society (and much of the natural world) into two <a href="/wiki/Kinship#Lineages,_clans,_phratries,_moieties,_and_matrimonial_sides" title="Kinship">moieties</a>: <i>Dhuwa</i> and <i>Yirritja</i>.

Generations of women, however, cycle through four subsections before arriving back at the starting point.

English">Australian Aboriginal English</a></div> <p>The variety of English used by many Australian Aboriginal people employs kinship terms in ways that are based on their equivalents in Australian Aboriginal languages. </p> <ul><li><i>Aunty</i> and <i>uncle</i> are terms of address for older people, to whom the speaker may not be related.</li> <li><i>Brother</i> and <i>sister</i>—as well as for reference to siblings this term is used to refer to children of one's mother's sister and of father's brother (cousin), just as in many indigenous languages.</li> <li><i>Cousin-brother</i> and <i>cousin-sister</i> are often used to refer to children of one's mother's sister and father's brother.</li> <li><i>Cousin</i> refers to children of one's father's sister and mother's brother, but may be extended to any relative of one's own generation, such as one who might share the same great-grandparent, which is a second-cousin in Aboriginal terms.</li> <li>In <a href="/wiki/South_East_Queensland" title="South East Queensland">south-east Queensland</a>, <i>daughter</i> is used to refer to any woman of one's great-grandparents' generation. This is due to the cyclical nature of traditional kinship systems and mirrors usage in many Australian languages.</li> <li><i>Father</i> and <i>mother</i> include any relative of one's parents' generation, such as uncles, aunts, their own cousins and in-laws.</li> <li><i>Grandfather</i> and <i>grandmother</i> can refer to anyone of one's grandparents' generation. <i>Grandfather</i> can also refer to any respected elderly man, to whom the speaker may not be related.</li> <li><i>Poison</i> refers to a relation one is obligated to avoid. See <a href="/wiki/Avoidance_speech" title="Avoidance speech">avoidance speech</a>.</li> <li>The term <i>second</i>, or <i>little bit</i> in northern Australia, is used with a distant relative who is described using a close kinship term. For example, one's <i>second father</i> or <i>little bit father</i> is a man of one's father's generation not closely related to the speaker. Usually having a <i>second mother</i> is having a woman of your own mother's generation who seems to act like a mother and would most likely care for you if anything were to happen to your own parents. It is contrasted with <i>close</i>, <i>near</i> or <i>true</i>.</li> <li>A <i>skin</i> or <i>skin group</i> is a section determined by the skin of a person's parents, and determines whom a person is eligible to marry.</li> <li><i>Son</i> can refer to any male of the next generation, such as nephews, just as <i>daughter</i> can refer to any female of the next generation, including nieces.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Australian_Aboriginal_kinship&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Noongar_kin_systems" title="Noongar kin systems">Noongar kin systems</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Warlpiri_people#Kinship" title="Warlpiri people">Warlpiri kinship</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Australian_Aboriginal_kinship&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite id="CITEREFMcConvell1996" class="citation journal cs1">McConvell, Patrick (October 1996).
