What value does this label have for English localization?

"younger cousin (mother's sibling's daughter or father's sister's daughter)"

If you have an iPhone, you can check all of those out by going to Contacts.app, tapping "edit" > add related name > tap on the blue "mother" > scroll down to bottom and tap on "All Labels".

It doesn't. But after all English speakers are only a small (<5%) minority of the world.
87% of percentages are made up in the spot.
It's correct if you read "English speakers" as "native English speakers": https://gurmentor.com/what-is-the-most-spoken-language-in-th...
English is the most commonly spoken language in the world, followed closely by Chinese.
This feature is exclusively for the CN market. Where they have a very specific work for each of those.

and it is probably to improve siri. So people can say "call 伯伯" and Siri knows *exactly* which uncle you mean. which is probably some killer feature that only android phones from huwai had before.
