<div> </div>
<div>I am not aware of any examples with the exact distinction you are looking for. But several East Asian languages such as Japanese do of course have different pronominal forms for the first person based on register or gender of the speaker, e.g.
<div> </div>
<div>Stefan Kaiser, et al. 2013. Japanese: A comprehensive grammar. 2nd edn. New York: Routledge. (p. 139)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Another example is Classical Chinese, where you can find different forms for first person, including wú 吾 or yú 余 and some others (*ŋˤa and *la and in Old Chinese according to Baxter & Sagart). But here the exact semantic differences are somehow opaque, e.g.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Edwin G. Pulleyblank. 1995. Outline of Classical Chinese grammar. Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press. (p. 76)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There are also some languages where differences are probably of a purely phonological or phonotactic matter (Okinoerabu), e.g.</div>

<div>Gijs van der Lubbe and Akiko Tokunaga. 2015. Okinoerabu grammar. In Heinrich, Patrick and Miyara, Shinsho and Shimoji, Michinori (eds.), Handbook of the Ryukyuan Languages, 345-377. Berlin: De Gruyter Mouton. (p. 350)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I assume you are probably not interested in suppletive paradigms, such as German nominative ich, accusative mich etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>

<b>Betreff:</b> [Lingtyp] Two 1SG pronouns (in reported speech and beyond)</div>

My question mainly relates to reported speech constructions, specifically self-quotations. Since it is quite safe to assume that Reported Speaker = Reporter </span></font><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">in self-quotations</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";margin-top: 0.0pt;margin-bottom: 0.0pt;">, I wondered if some language would distinguish the two sources of consciousness: 'I-now'</span><em style="font-family: "Times New Roman";margin-top: 0.0pt;margin-bottom: 0.0pt;"> </em><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";margin-top: 0.0pt;margin-bottom: 0.0pt;">as Reporter, and 'I-then'</span><em style="font-family: "Times New Roman";margin-top: 0.0pt;margin-bottom: 0.0pt;"> </em><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";margin-top: 0.0pt;margin-bottom: 0.0pt;">as Reported Speaker. I don’t think I have seen something like this in the literature (might have simply overlooked it), but if you have heard about something like that, I would be interested to know more. Any examples from the languages of your expertise where this (or any other similar distinction related to 1SG pronoun) occurs would be more than welcome! </span></font></div>
