For example... Americans call their big brothers "Bubba" etc... Japanese call theirs "Aniki or Onihchamn". I want a list of such terms and if they are gender specific, I want the younger sister to older brother version(s). In Spanish, the word brother is hermano, but a little sister doesn't call her older brother "Hermano". I want the slang-like nicknames that are used by peoples of the world. But I want commonly accepted ones. Not local dialect or one-family specific ones. Any language and the more you give me that can be easily verified, the better chance you have of being chosen for the "Best Answer" winner. I'll accept English versions too, but prefer those of OTHER languages. Being an American..., I might find those of other English-speaking nations to be unknown to me. I will consider all entries/submissions. Thank you.
