informal yous?

And if you did, what level were you to use with your assigned companion?

In Germany, we used the formal form. I believe the same is true in France.

I'm not certain of Spanish speaking countries, as I use Usted usually.

What level of honorifics do they use in Japan? Do you use informal, formal or o-honorific with companions?

Austranesian languages don't make that distinction.

What about Russian, Hungarian or Slavic or Ugric languages?
