The study of kin terminology in Arabic has always been a major focus of Arab legal scholars, sociologists and philologists. The main events of Human life are birth, marriage and death tend to occur within kin units in most societies. Though there are universal features of kin category, the expression of these features varies from culture to culture. it is culture in nature rather than a biological given. The goal of present study is to refer to the relations built up from links between father - grandfathers and their male children, blood relation which donates the relation from the mother in addition to the milk - kin in two distinct dialects the Maslawai and the Kuwaiti dialects. In this paper we present to non-Arabic readers the Maslawi and Kuwaiti dialect as examples of how Arabic societies kinship divide, showing some similarities and difference in terms of kin terms themselves to enrich the investigations that prove the richness of Arabic language upon other languages used worldwide
