‘Youse’ survives in some English/Scottish dialects as a plural. And Americans have y’all of course.

That’s interesting, is y’all an informal second person plural? Like vosotros in Spanish instead of ustedes?

I don’t think there’s that kind of informal/formal distinction.

Got family from DFW that claims that "y'all" is, although plural, in a sense singular, since it refers to a group as a whole. "All'yall" refers to each element of the group. So y'all is plural, but all'yall is more plural.
