Which englesh honorific is use to refer traditional leaders?

There is no single English honorific used to refer to all traditional leaders. The appropriate title depends on the specific culture and tradition of the leader.

Here are some common examples:

* Chief: A general term used for leaders of various indigenous communities, especially in North America.

* King/Queen: Used for monarchs in various cultures, particularly in Europe and Africa.

* Sultan/Sheikh: Used for leaders in Islamic societies, especially in the Middle East and South Asia.

* Emir/Amir: Used for leaders of smaller principalities or regions, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa.

* Elder: A general term for respected leaders within communities, especially among indigenous groups.

* Grandfather/Grandmother: A term used to show respect for elders in some cultures, especially in indigenous communities.

It's important to be aware that the use of specific titles can be sensitive and should be approached with respect and understanding of the individual culture. If you are unsure of the appropriate title, it's best to ask for clarification or use a more general term like "leader" or "respected elder."
