This article is a qualitative research aimed to study Yunnanese (Chin Haw) kinship terms used in Doi Mae Salong, Mae Fa Luang District, Chiang Rai Province, using componential analysis. Data was collected from five informants: two males and three females, aged between 28-60 years. The results revealed five components in the Yunnanese kinship term system: generation, sex, age, lineality, and parental side. As for the sociocultural aspect, the Yunnanese kinship terms used in Doi Mae Salong reflected the emphasis of the seniority system, as it was found that there are specific kinship terms for G+1 and G+2. Moreover, the Yunnanese kinship terms give importance to the paternal side and the male line, as seen in the G0 generation; the maternal side has only one combined kinship term for eight relationships, while more terms are specified for each relation on the paternal side.
