> 兄ちゃんも行きたいって言ってたし。

I'm pretty sure it's 言. The only difference is the top mark is horizontal.
Every time time I analyze it, though, I wind up with 言.

Anyway, my question regards the 行きた. According to my dictionary, it's the た
form of 行く, though the inflection chart claims that would be 行った.

However, the き makes it look like the infinitive followed by a た.

If it is the た form, I would guess the literal translation to be:

Brother as well is going to have gone having said, definitely.

Possible meaning:

My brother also says he definitely is going to go.

If it's the infinitive imperative:

Brother as well is going to go having said, definitely.

Which, I'd make the same guess about meaning.

question
grammar conjugations tense past
Infinitive form + た or た form
What you have found is not the past -た form, but the -たい form. It is attached
to the 連用形 "i-form" (a.k.a. the infinitive) and indicates that you _want_ to
do something. Thus, 「行きたい」 means "want to go".
