## About "family" in BIP39

- "family" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"fami"**, already identify it, because **"fam"** also begins [fame](/bip39-word/fame/) and [famous](/bip39-word/famous/).
- **"fami"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins famille in the [French list](/french/), familia in the [Spanish list](/spanish/), famiglia in the [Italian list](/italian/) and familiar in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
