Devar, in Punjabi deor and spelled ਦਿਉਰ, is the word for a husband's younger brother, one kind of brother-in-law in English. Punjabi splits this relation by age: the husband's younger brother is deor, his elder brother is jeth, and his sister is nanan. ## What does Devar mean in Punjabi? A deor is seen from the wife's side of the family. When a woman marries, each younger brother of her husband becomes her deor, a younger relation in her new home. English brother-in-law hides that detail, since the same label also means a wife's brother or a sister's husband. The Punjabi word is exact on its own: it says he is the husband's brother, and the younger one. ## How does a Deor fit in the family? Guides to Punjabi relationship names describe the brother-in-law terms as marking respect and familiarity together, with brothers-in-law sharing a friendly and supportive relationship and helping each other with family responsibilities. In that order, the deor is the familiar younger member of the in-law family, junior to the jeth, and his bhabhi (ਭਾਬੀ), his elder brother's wife, is the relation he is closest to in daily life. His own wife is called darani (ਦਰਾਣੀ), the wife of the husband's younger brother. ## What is the difference between Deor, Jeth and Saala? Age and family side decide the word. Deor (ਦਿਉਰ) is the husband's younger brother, jeth (ਜੇਠ) is his elder brother, and saala (ਸਾਲ਼ਾ) is a wife's brother, seen from the husband's side instead. One man can hold two of these titles at once: to his elder brother's wife he is deor, and to his younger brother's wife he is jeth. The Roman spelling varies as well: Punjabi word lists write the word deor, while devar is the spelling used in wider Indian usage for the same relation. ## Related words [ਜੇਠjethA husband's elder brother, a senior brother-in-law in a Punjabi family](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/jeth/)[ਭਾਬੀbhabhiElder brother's wife; sister-in-law](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/bhabhi/)[ਸੱਸsaasmother-in-law: the mother of your husband or wife](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/saas/)[ਪਰਿਵਾਰparivarFamily](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/parivar/) Advertisement Sources (3) 1.
