Your brother-in-law is either the husband of your sister or the brother of your spouse.

Where your brother-in-law is the husband of your sister, there is no relationship name in the English language to describe his brother's relationship to you. However, in that situation your brother-in-law's brother is your sister'sbrother-in-law.

Where your brother-in-law is the brother of your spouse, his brother is also your brother-in-law.
