No confusion...as similar situation in my husband's house....
My in laws are born in Telangana but my FIL stayed with his father in Mumbai from his young age (so he can speak and understand Marati along with Telugu and Hindi) and after marriage my MIL shifted to Mumbai.....my husband and his 2 sisters were born in Mumbai and then bcoz of FIL's job, they shifted to Baroda(Gujarat) when my husband was in 4th class....my MIL learnt to speak/understand Hindi after moving to Mumbai....
my 2nd SIL, the youngest one's Telugu is tooti phooti...even kids talk better telugu than her....😆
only my husband learnt to read/write Telugu but it takes time for him to read as he has not studied telugu at all in his school days....both my SIL's cannot read/write telugu....
all these siblings talk to each other in Hindi ....
both my SILs' talk to my FIL in Hindi but in telugu with my MIL....
my husband is the only one who talks in telugu with both his parents....
my elder SIL married a telugu guy so she now speaks good telugu...she learnt that fluency only after marriage....
my younger SIL married a UP guy, so her telugu speaking is limited to just my MIL...so her telugu never improves....😆
my elder SIL & I talk in Telugu but my younger SIL and me talk in Hindi....
so I can totally understand what you wrote....😆
Omg your husband's family ( sisters) situation is more confusing than mine 🤣 😆
