For younger brother you'd say: Baraadar-e-koochiktar
For yonger sister you'd say: Khaahar-e-koochiktar

You call them either... "little brother" or "baby brother"...This is the same for sister.
If you are speaking more respectfully use the terms--younger brother...also the same for sister.
For older brothers and sisters big brother (same for sister)
or more formally, older brother (same for sister)

well I live in the united states and we don't really conjugate things the same way as most other countries. As a matter of fact in my family it's alright for siblings to use proper names given to them at birth when referring to one and other, and terms like little bro or sis, are used to emphasize an emotion or to get a point across
