<br>
Not quite sure if this is part of what you're looking for, but many languages have different 1sg pronouns for different registers, politeness, gender, social status, etc.<br>
<br>
Korean na/ce<br>
Japanese boku/ore/watashi/etc.<br>
Thai phom/chan/kuu/etc.<br>
Vietnamese em/anh/toi/etc.</div>

any other similar distinction related to 1SG pronoun) occurs would be more than welcome! </span></font></div>
