The answer

Maintaining kinship ties is obligatory, and severing them is forbidden. Kinship ties are maintained by anything customarily considered a connection, such as financial assistance, fulfilling needs, visiting, and exchanging greetings through correspondence. Contacting siblings on occasions is sufficient to avoid severing ties, while more connection is better and brings greater reward and blessing. Language difference is not an impediment.
